You need to compile both: libgphoto2 and gphoto2.

First libgphoto2:

./configure --prefix=/usr
make
(as root) make install

then gphoto2:
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
(as root) make install

This should work. If libgphoto2 fails with some libexif error, also
download, compile and install libexif.
