making the cpp files in source

[yakovyarmo]

i downloaded a program source code and i changed something in it . than i do the ./configure and then make install but the thing that i changed doesnt effect.
what i need to do so it will take effect? ( maybe compile or something ?)

There is not enough detail provided to give a good answer.
If you did not use the command make, then make install should have
done that before installing.
