You are copying the source package to the library where the compiled
packages are kept, which is why you are getting the error.  You will
need to install the package from the sources.  As a Linux user I find
the process straightforward.  Windows and Mac OS X users are often
taken aback by the complexity of the process.

What operating system are you using?
