Default Help Compiling

I'm new to Linux and I'm haven trouble getting programs to install. Does anyone have any good guides that show you how to do this. I only got one compiled and I don't know how to open the program.

to install a program:

unzip it
cd to folder
./configure

make install

then type the program's name into a terminal to launch it.
