Marcus,

Get numlockx-1.0.tar.gz and save it to a local directory.  Uncompress
the files via "tar xvzf numlockx-1.0.tar.gz".  Change to the newly
created numlockx-1.0 directory.  Become the superuser, root, (i.e. su
).   Follow the README directions.

An excerpt is presented here:

QUICK INSTALL :

First of all, make sure this package isn't already included in your
 distribution ( e.g. Mandrake includes it ). If you distribution already
  includes NumLockX, use their package instead ( it needn't be necessarily
  called NumLockX, it may be e.g. part of some other package ).

Otherwise, do :
  ./configure
  make
  make install
  make xsetup
  make xinitrc


The later steps ( ./configure, make, etc.) are what you need to do. 
That's all there is to it!
Numlock should start for each user.
