It sounds like all you want to do is unpack and compile it. If so, this is what you do:

tar -xzvf sudo-1.6.5p2.tar.gz
cd name_of_directory_just_created
./configure
make
make install (as root)

You need to have gcc to compile the source, and it may require some libraries. If the compilation fails, just get an rpm from rpmfind.net

to install an rpm:
rpm -i whatever.rpm (as root)
