Varnish installation

Hello,

I'm new to varnish and perplexed.

As advised by http://varnish-cache.org/wiki/VarnishOnRedhat and http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#howtouse, I've loaded varnish onto my CentOS server using: 

su -c 'rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-3.noarch.rpm'

su -c 'yum install varnish'

Seems to load OK. But, when I go to /var/lib/varnish I find an empty directory. I find various config directories, but nothing that looks like source code.

The next step is equally perplexing:

You will first need to generate the configure script:

$ ./autogen.sh

Took me awhile to find and download autogen.sh. But where do I put it? Into the empty varnish directory?

Many thanks,

LRP
