Installation of .tar.bz2 software depend upon the content of the tar file. If it contains binary program, you did mention the correct way to install. But if the content is source, then you need to do the following steps.

 

1. ./configure

2. make

3. make install

 

For any clarification, do write me.

sir..i mentioned in the post that as you decompress the software..just move to the directory obtained after decompressing..and read the readme file inside it..you will get all the details about how to compile it..either by running ./configure or after it using make or make install to compile it..
