The instructions in the README should be sufficient, I think.  In
summary,

        % ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/snav
        % make
        % make install

should be sufficient.  You may need to be root to install in
/usr/local/snav (you can install wherever you like; you probably want
to choose a new directory, not reuse something like /usr/local).

You should find there's an executable script called snavigator in
/usr/local/snav/bin which is what you should run.  

You must do the "make install", and there are some flags which, if
passed to configure, will mysteriously cause things to fail.  For
example, people familiar with Tcl might try --disable-static, but if I
remember correctly, that doesn't work.

Alternatively, if you're using some common distribution of Linux (such
as Red Hat) then you can probably find ready built packages.  For
Debian unstable, for example, "apt-get install sourcenav" will do the
necessary installation.
