help installing seq on RH9

[Pandagonier]

Im a noob here trying to install SEQ on Redhat 9. Im having some trouble. I finally got the cvs to work by typing in:
cvs –d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/seq login

then

cvs –z3 –d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/seq co <packagename>

and put it in /root/linux now from this point im lost. One place I visited said after I do that to type in ./configure or ./autogen.sh
and none of those are working, maybe im doing it wrong, I dunno.
But I do know I'm lost. Ive read the posts and stuff, but I still dont understand it. Ive been trying this for a week now and its giving me one big headache. If anyone could help, I would appreciate it, thanks.

Find the file INSTALL.NEWBIE and read it. You know it is probably pointless, your probably not willing to read this file.
