i think you downloaded the usplash source package.try the following steps after extracting files from archive.

1. sudo apt-get usplash-dev
- Installs usplash-dev package

2. make
- Compiles splashtheme

then you will get a *.so file.install the theme with startup-manager.

@shashwat:did u meant custom usplash?
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/US...omizationHowto

startupmanager is a must
u maybe interested in below page:
http://forumubuntusoftware.info/view...f=23&t=60#p126

a easy way is to install splashy instead of usplash .
http://splashy.alioth.debian.org/
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=216597

u can change grub theme by adding splashimage= option.(or use startupmanager-apt-get install it!)
