As first step try that your computer works with hamlib alone. You can
use hamlibs 'rigctl' program for that.
Second step: Make sure your rig settings (model and baudrate) in
logcfg.dat are correct.

It is the normal way if you install a program from source. As TLF works
on more than linux we can not provide a precompiled image. That is
normaly done by the distributions who can specialize for a certain
operating system and/or processor family.

If you compile an application yourself most build systems place the
resulting files automatically in /usr/local/(bin,share). The one coming
from your distribution (1.1.0) was installed in /usr/(bin,share) before.
You can change the behaviour of your build by an additional switch
to ./configure:
'./configure --enable-hamlib --prefix=/usr'
would install the files in the old location, overriding the original
files. Be sure to backup any modifications you have made.
If you stay with the new /usr/local version you have to delete at least
the original /usr/bin/tlf as it comes first in search order if you
call the program. Best would be to deinstall the old version with your
package manager.
