You have Two Options:

1. Build it from Source: You download the tar.gz and extract it with
    tar xvzf XnView-x86-unknown-linux2.x-static-fc4.tgz
    then go to the directory where the content where extracted and look if there is a README-File how to install
    in most cases you have to build it on your own with the following commands
   ./configure
    make
    make install

2. Convert the RPM to a deb-File
     Their is an Tool names alien which can convert from rpm to deb and in the other direction. At first you have to install Alien and his dependencies with
     sudo apt-get install alien

     after then convert the rpm with the following command
     alien XnView-static-fc4.i386.rpm

      when this is finished you should have an deb-File in the Directory which you can install with
      dpkg -i *.deb

Hope that helps you
