Why do you need to make things more complicated than necessary? Extract the
tar you downloaded and execute the install script located there. Anything
else leaves the approach I have tested and confirmed to work for you.

For a successful compilation a *complete* release is necessary anyway
(well, you can deselect the documentation and demoes during the
installation :P).
