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".
