X-IsSubscribed: yes

when that says "src directory" it means the directory into which you
extracted the package you downloaded. for example, if you have a file
called programsource.tar.gz in your /home directory,  you would do
something like the following..

# cd /home
# tar zxvf programsource.tar.gz              <-- this extracts the
source package
# cd programsource                               <-- new directory
created by tar
#./configure

Hope that helps
