What do you mean by that? (ggi and gii from different distibutions)
I add things to my system mainly by compiling them from source. It is the
"sanest" way. The configure script figures out exactly the way your system
has been put together, and tailors things accordingly. The precompiled
binaries work only for a particular kind of system. 

I don't  believe that typing "./configure,  make,  make install" at the
command prompt it's a job reserved only for linux gurus :) (well when
you're stuck with older linux distributions like I am, this is the only
way of keeping your box up-to-date).
