Decompress the archive somewhere first, anywhere... like in /home/john 
or /tmp... so, assuming it is a .tar.gz or .tgz file:

tar -xvzf archive.tar.gz

Then go into the directory:

cd archive

The do the install commands

./configure && make && make install

If you're struggling to remove the old stuff then sod it and just 
install over the top - seems you have little to lose :D
