I'd prefer the AUR instead of the sources: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … s=0&SeB=nd

For AUR packages:

1) download the tarball
2) unpack it
3) enter the newly created directory (there should be a "PKGBUILD" file there)
4) type "makepkg"
5) this will create a package file - install it using "pacman -U *.pkg.tar.gz"
6) read more about AUR here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR

EDIT:  This particular package doesn't build on my system for some reason, though
