How do I install a Scilab toolbox in Ubuntu?

I installed Scilab using the apt-get and now I would like to install this toolbox: http://sourceforge.net/projects/data-comm/

I tried this:

tomsInstall('/home/martin/Dropbox/universidad/Intro distribuidos/TP6/datacomm.tar.gz')
atomsExtract: The extraction of the archive '/home/martin/Dropbox/universidad/Intro distribuidos/TP6/datacomm.tar.gz' has failed.
 !--error 10000 

at line      51 of function atomsError called by :  
at line      82 of function atomsExtract called by :  
at line     153 of function atomsInstall called by :  
TP6/datacomm.tar.gz'

And it's obviously not working, any clues?

You must use tar xzf datacomm.tar.gz to extract this archive, then follow the instructions in the README text file (I have not enough reputation to comment).
