compiling vdrift?

[nalmeth]

hey
I'm kinda new to open-source gaming, but it looks promising :)
I've install Nexuiz and some other games but I'm having trouble installing vdrift. I have downloaded the .bz, but don't know what to do with it.
How do you compile it or install it?

Can anyone recommend some really awesome open-source 3D games?

ok, this has been a long process, and I think I'm almost there.
I had to install gcc, sdl, g++, and make. I have run ./confiugre, and managed to pull it off with no errors finally!
make runs a lot of commands fine, and then it all goes wrong near the end

For the past errors I've gotten over, I was able to install a package to move on. I have no idea what this one means.

Anyone know what to make of this?

We realy need Deb versions of this, its getting stupid to have to do all this to get the game to work.
