It's pretty straightforward once you have your compiler set up (via gcc extension):
| Code Sample | | ./configure && make && sudo make install |
You may also want to change variables to suit your needs. This, along with the standard INSTALL and README (read them both!) files in the folder which the tarball extracts, will give you some guidance:
| Code Sample | | ./configure --help | less |
IIRC, the extension for 2.5 is UCI (testing); other extensions for 2.3 are likewise tar.gz and UCI (so they also will install in /opt). It'll work on hard drive install, but you'll need to mydsl-load it whenever you want to use python and the binary won't go to a typical path -- a consideration you'll have to keep in mind if you compile anything else that requires python (usually --with-python=path-to-python). If you won't use it for anything else, the extension will probably be adequate. If you're going to use it a lot, compiling makes more sense.
