For the case of the Xastir tarball you might want to do:

cd /usr/local/src
tar -xvzf tarball_filename (whatever the current xastir tarball name is)

Also:  Get used to using the "man" program to find out what each command does.  Many commands also respond to 
"-?" or "-h" or "--help" flags as well.

For instance, to learn about tar, type "man tar" in an xterm.  To learn about the shell, 
type "man bash".
