Well... I checked out your link and the instructions say to uncompress it and read the INSTALL file. Have you done that yet?

Start with this.

bash2.05$ tar -xzvf xpde-0.3.5-20030426.tar.gz

Then change into the newly created directory.

bash2.05$ cd xpde-0.3.5-20030426

Then read the README file

bash2.05$ vi README

Contintue following instructions.

Sorry if that doesn't help much.
