I have a problem about turning off keyboard backlight that I asked here with no useful answers.

After searching on internet I find a package for vaio control center and downloaded it from here, I don't know how to install it.

This is the output of trying one solution:

[email protected]:~/vaio-control-center-0.1$ ls
compile  Makefile             run               vaio-control-center      vcc
COPYING  moc_main_window.cpp  ui_main_window.h  vaio-control-center.pro

[email protected]:~/vaio-control-center-0.1$ ./compile
make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/share/qt/mkspecs/linux-g++-64/qmake.conf', needed by `Makefile'.  Stop.

[email protected]:~/vaio-control-center-0.1$ ./run
./run: 3: ./run: ./vaio-control-center: not found

[email protected]:~/vaio-control-center-0.1$ 


Updated

I tried also with @pandya's suggestion from here. and the output is as follows:

[email protected]:/# cd /home/user/vaio-f11-linux.control-center
[email protected]:/home/user/vaio-f11-linux.control-center# ls
compile  COPYING  resource.qrc  run  sony-acpid  vaio-control-center.pro  vcc

[email protected]:/home/user/vaio-f11-linux.control-center# ./compile
-su: ./compile: Permission denied
[email protected]:/home/user/vaio-f11-linux.control-center# sudo ./compile
sudo: ./compile: command not found
[email protected]:/home/user/vaio-f11-linux.control-center# gksudo ./compile
[email protected]:/home/user/vaio-f11-linux.control-center#  <----- nothing happened here
[email protected]:/home/user/vaio-f11-linux.control-center# ./run
-su: ./run: Permission denied
[email protected]:/home/user/vaio-f11-linux.control-center# sudo ./run
sudo: ./run: command not found
[email protected]:/home/user/vaio-f11-linux.control-center# gksudo ./run
[email protected]:/home/user/vaio-f11-linux.control-center#  <----- nothing happened here
[email protected]:/home/user/vaio-f11-linux.control-center# 

and after running that I didn't see any affect on keyboard backlight.
