user45114: How do I compile this source or get vanitygen for linux?
Open source link:
https://github.com/samr7/vanitygen

user63569: I would suggest you use Bitaddress.org
its open source and secure without the need to install anything. 
or you could do that using bitcoin-php library on PHP.
vanitygen is too old and never updated almost since 7 years.
UPDATE
Sorry for the previous suggestion, I thought bitaddress.org has that function.
vanitygen library that you mentioned is too old, you better use 
vanitygen-plus, it's up-to-date and supports bitcoin and alt-coins.

user96148: How to compile:

Download the source from Github.
Run the ./configure file. (if it doesn't exist, type "./autogen.sh" first.)
Type "make".
Your program is ready.
