How to install .tar.gz and .tgz les.

I am trying to install Cowpatty, Airsnort and Kisment. But as I don't know how to install .tar.gz and
.tgz les. I found Kismet on Synaptic Package Manager but it didn't install the part that allows me
to use the program.
So could someone tell me how to install these les.

Re: How to install .tar.gz and .tgz les.

With .tar.gz (or .tar.bz2), you rst need to be in the same directory where the le is. Then, you need
to uncompress and unpack it with the tar command. That would create a new directory and you
need to change to that new directory. Now, there should be a INSTALL that tells you exactly what
you need to do but most of the time, you need to compile the source for your machine.
