Newbie needs help with SETI@home



Howdy-
 
I just installed my first Linux OS last Sunday.  It is running quite well.  I have been having a problem with getting Seti@home  to install (the first program i have tried to install)
 
I can unpack the tar file, but when I try to use the ./configure command, the terminal window tells me that that command is not known. 
 
How do I install and run SETI?
 
If I just unpack the tarball, and then click on one of the executables, it just makes my HD grind for five minutes and then nothing else happens.
 
Any, and all advice would be appreciated.
 
 
Thanks Much-
 
Lar.
 
P.S.  Here is the link http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/unix.html .  I was trying to install the i686-pc-linux-gnu-gnulibc2.1:  program from linux.org. My CPU is a PIII 1.0GHz
