You don't need to do it yourself... It's in the repositories.
You can install it from the software centre.

If you still want the deb-file, run sudo apt-get download postr from a terminal.

  • but the latest version is already in the repositories (0.12.4): http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=postr - http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/sources/postr/ -- Unless you downloaded the source from the git repository? – Savvas Radevic Dec 17 '11 at 10:55
  • Isn't this the latest version? http://packages.debian.org/sid/postr If it is, just use that one :p – RobinJ Dec 17 '11 at 11:35
