I'm not entirely certain, but generally you'd do
make make install (as root)
Or you could scrap the tarball and get the rpm (assuming there is one for your distro). you can install it by just clicking on the rpm or install from a shell prompt using rpm -ivh opera.rpm
Hope that helps.

6.0 or greater is current Opera. If your Linux uses rpms (try rpm -qa), Helen is correct. You can google "opera-6 rpm"

Opera doesn't have version 6 yet for Linux, but the static RPM at their site installed easily for me on Mandrake 9 and Lycoris.

Actually, they're up to Opera 6.10 for Linux. In fact, I'm using Opera 6.10 for Linux right now.
