Others:

There are two ways:

you can download most recent stable version (0.5.10, older versions can be found here)
you can fetch git repository available at git://repo.or.cz/ncmpcpp.git (gitweb interface at http://repo.or.cz/w/ncmpcpp.git). if main repository is down, you can use mirror @ git.musicpd.org

If you're not sure, first option is recommended as live repository may contain more bugs.

To download live repository you'll need git system control version.

you have to execute the following command: git clone git://repo.or.cz/ncmpcpp.git then enter downloaded folder: cd ncmpcpp and regenerate configure script and makefiles by typing: ./autogen.sh if it succeeded without errors, now it's time to run:

./configure YOUR_CONFIGURE_OPTS (you can see them by typing ./configure --help)

make

make install

However, if you want to install it from tarball, download and unpack it: tar pjvxf TARBALL_FILENAME then enter unpacked directory and type:

./configure YOUR_CONFIGURE_OPTS

make

make install

congratulations, you have successfully installed ncmpcpp :)

Tip: grab example config files from YOUR_CONFIGURE_PREFIX/share/doc/ncmpcpp (most likely /usr/share/doc/ncmpcpp or /usr/local/share/doc/ncmpcpp) and customize it to suit your needs.
