| You need to su to the root account. To install a program from rpm you generally issue a command line like:
rpm -i programname.i386.rpm
For building stuff from the source, you can try using "make" or ./configure", and if that fails, read the installation instructions.
To run a program, just type:
./program name
if you are in that directory. | |

when you install programs from source. | |
