program to disable touchpad, but how to install?

[jpg366]

I found this... http://web.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpa ... .4.tar.bz2

said to work within xorg ... appears to have a bunch of c code, but nothing compiled. The docs mention some "x" libraries, but I don't find them.

I'm getting adept with ROX and can handle command line stuff, but am still a bit mysitfied by the linux file structure (what goes where) and have not compiled anything yet.

Anyone want to make a pup from it, or give a nice step-by-step to get this into puppy?
