I used the hklc installation script
(http://www.hklc.com/midgard_manual/installer/), it had minor issues
because I had installed older version of midgard earlier but generally
worked fine.
As for compiling from the source, there is nothing mystical to it, the
configure scripts normally handle everything so generally all you need
to do is run three commands (the two first can/should be run as user but
the last one must be run as root)
$./configure
$make
#make install
Now if the configure fails for some reason then there is more
troubleshooting involved, generally it outputs somewhat sane
errormessages. the INSTALL or README text file is your best friend, they
will tell you about the switches you need to use when configuring and
how to overcome common errors.
