Isn't there a separate subforum for compiling and this stuff... Maybe a nice forum emperor will move the topic.

I like the cue there.

Moved and changed the title to better reflect the problem. Hopefully someone will be along to help you shortly.

a lot of the previous version files are missing

To which files are you referring to? The tarball should contain all files required to compile it. Perhaps you've accidentally downloaded something else, e.g. xdelta..

You're not making a lot of sense. What exactly did you download? (hint: post an URL)

And what exactly are you missing from there?

oh phew nevermind the thing was i downloaded the 280 mb source code and then i extracted it through the desktop and it only extracted 28 mb which was the campaigns so i decided to try and extract it through the terminal and once i did so it was easy from there on to just configure it and then to make and sudo install
