there is a prob with the .tar file installation.The rpm packages get installed easily but the .tar r a little bit too even in thier behavior.It will be nice if a detailed instruction is there for gettibg the job done for linux(red h)installation with info abt the grub boot loader or any other one whichever is better.

Wow, that's really descriptive.
Now if you could explain us what are you trying to do.
And Linux is Open Source.

@mehulved: This is still software trouble shooting, so no harms done.

@abhishek: extract the tarball to a folder. Open Terminal. Navigate to that folder using "cd name" like dos to go into a folder and "cd .." to move out of folders. after reaching folder, type ./configure then after the messages have stopped comming, type make. after the messages stop, type make install. that will do.
