I'm sorry, it seems that I've skipped your first message.
The straightforward way is to build everything from the sources, i.e.
$ ./confugure
$ make
$ make check
$ sudo make install
or something like that.
If ./configure fails, then you should check its output for missing
libraries and install them (make sure you have libfoobar-dev).
As for /etc/apt/sources.list, you just need to become superuser,
use something like
$ sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list
