I think you forgot to cd into the directory where the configure-script is.

probably
tar -xzvf pwDesktop-release.tar.gz
cd pwDesktop-release
./configure

This is a ready-to-run executable, no compiling necessary. Double-click the pwDesktop file.

I run this command $sudo ./pwDesktop
but i got this error

" ./pwDesktop: symbol lookup error:
/usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_malloc_n "
