Are you talking about something like what you download for Mozilla or Firebird? (precompiled binaries) If so, most just untar them into /usr/local and run the binary that starts it. For example:
MozillaFirebird-0.7-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz
untars into usr/local, so you get
/usr/local/MozillaFirebird/
and in there will be what you need:
MozillaFirebird-bin
to start the program
Of course, you don't HAVE to put them in /usr/local, you can put it anywhere
you want.
