How to install OpenOCD

Hello everyone,
I have set up the olimex SAM7P256 board using GCC 4.1.1 and binutils 
2.17 and it is working fine. Now I have got a olimex JTAG tiny (not the 
H version). Though it comes with a CD to help in installation in windows 
OS with the necessary drivers and documents, It doesn't have anything 
for linux. I searched in the web and installed the openOCD and now I 
dont know how to proceed. I can install eclipse with the C/C++ plugin. 
But I dont know how to connect the dots. I mean I have no idea about how 
to write configure file and how to make it a whole package where I can 
write and debug the programs.
Can anyne guide me or refer me to any website that talks about 
installation of open OCD for this type of board in a linux environment. 
I am newbie in this field and no matter how basic the solution is, it 
would be really helpful.
I am using Ubuntu.
Thanks.

krish.
