Since you use Ubuntu, you can try instructions for Debian packages
instead (the packages from the APT should work in Ubuntu as well as in
Debian). Step-by-step instructions can be found on http://pkg.mxe.cc/
(scroll to "Debian packages").

Tar archives were introduced to support systems with other package
management tools (like Gentoo). If you want to use them, you have to
download the needed packages (with all dependencies, which can be
found manually in source files in src/*,mk) and unpack them to
/usr/lib/mxe. You has to install MXE requirements
http://mxe.cc/#requirements-debian to start using the unpacked
packages. If you install Debian packages (see above) all requirements
are installed as dependencies.
