I want to install the latest version in Debian, and I've got its source file,a tarball file, from here: http://snapshot.debian.org/package/get-iplayer/2.82-2/

but as a linux noob,I don't know how to do with it.

usually when I come across a tar.gz file, I can run command as follows:

tar -xzvf
./configure
make
make install

but in this case,it seems that this method doesn't fit

so what should I do,anyone can help me ?
