Question COBOL on linux?!

Hello guys,

I'm searching for a good COBOL compiler which runs on linux. In fact I have found one but I'm really lost with its installation!! I don't know how to install it and how it works. In fact I'm not so good in linux and I always have problems with installation, but this time it's impossible for me to install this software.
The compiler is COBOL for gcc, the documentation is here:

http://cobolforgcc.sourceforge.net/cobol_toc.html

Could anyone help me with installing this or recommend me some other COBOL compilers?
Thx
