As long as you've got a C compiler (maybe also C++ and objective C depending on the package you want to compile) and make installed on your system, doing the following should work:

$ ./configure
$ make
$ su -c 'make install'  -> this to install as root

and that's all. Maybe you need extra packages, such as byacc or sed, but those are usually installed in a default installation.
