tar xvzf planeshift.tar.gz -> extract the archive
cd  planeshift -> change to the newly created directory
./configure -> create the needed files for jam to build the source
jam -> build the sources

Now you have PS compiled and installed (if  nothing went wrong) and you can setup   PS  with ./pssetup  and   finally  run  it with ./psclient

If you don\'t have jam  installed you can get it here: http://public.perforce.com/public/jam/jam-2.5.tar

download it,  then do the following:

tar xvf jam-2.5.tar -> extract the  archive
cd jam-2.5 ->  change   to the  newly  created  directory
make -> build the sources
cd bin.linuxx86 -> change to the new directory containing the program
su -> change current user to root  to  do the next step  and enter the root password
cp  jam /usr/bin -> copy jam to this directory so you can use it
exit -> go back to your  user

Now you are ready to go ;)
