How do you get it to install, I dowload package, execute, then go to terminal, cd to it, type "scons", once done i type "./install". The I run glob by "glob2", and I still have version 0.8.9. Am I doing something wrong?

the INSTALL file isn't an executable file for installing the game, it's the instructions on how to do so. In order to install globally you need to type as root:
scons install

When you use sudo You are running as root (at least for that command). So for your system it would just be:
sudo scons install
but not all linux systems use sudo so you will sometimes be told to run things 'as root' like this. In the future just remember when your told to run something 'as root' to just use sudo on your computer.

Ok thanks, I will remember to use sudo in place of root.
