For what it's worth, usually with source packages like the one that you downloaded first you'd run:
./configure

then run

make

then run

make install

Usually also there's an install readme included with the package. I've never installed proftpd from source myself, so you might want to check that first.

Oh, and BTW I think your sig is too long - should be less than 4 lines here I think.

if your looking to configure it from source, read the docs that are on their site

Their located here
http://proftpd.linux.co.uk/docs/faq/linked/faq-ch2.html
http://proftpd.linux.co.uk/docs/faq/linked/faq.html

or from an RPM package
