What's wrong with the Ubuntu supported package pptp-linux?

You should be able to install it using the package manager, "Synaptic".

I think pptp-linux is only the low level client. I.e you can configure it by editting text files, but that's probably not what you want to do :-).

There's a high level frontend for NetworkManager. Try installing network-manager-pptp. Then right click on the network icon on your panel, and you should be able to create a PPTP connection somehow.

There's more info about it here -
