what you are looking at is known as source file. you should stay away from compiling sources for time being instead use pre-compiled stuff. you can search and install what you want by using synaptic. go here to know how...

If you want an easy way to install packages from source, without going into command line, see this topic. Try to get hold of the mentioned software using Synaptic or any other package manager.

If you want to compile the software from within the command line, check the numerous guides available -
