Installing a silc server

[linux starved]

To all concerned parties,

I have read all the documentation and have attempted, on three separate
occasions to get the server up and running but sadly I still do not have it
up.

I am running debian sarge  2.6.8-16sarge1 on an x86 machine running on
vmware

I have downloaded the silc-sever...deb package to usr/local and ran dpkg -i
silc-server...deb

According to the documentation, I need to run ./configure, make and make
install on the source files located in /usr/local/silc but there is no /silc
directory in /usr/local

Where did I go wrong, I read the documentation in
/usr/share/doc/silc-server/README.Debian  but that doesn't mention anything
about the location of the source files

Below are all the instances of silc on my machine:

Which directory has the source that I need to compile? Thank you in advance.
