No, not really. Looks like you're starting the source or something?
Here's how it's supposed to look:
| mb@huxley ~ $ tar -jxvvf recoverpics-1.6.tar.bz2
| -rw-r----- mb/users      13294 2004-02-28 07:08:36 recoverpics/recoverpics.c
| drwxr-x---                  Creating directory: recoverpics
| -rwxr-xr-x mb/users        542 2004-02-27 16:13:03 recoverpics/checkpics.sh
| -rw-r----- mb/users        140 2004-02-27 16:10:04 recoverpics/Makefile
| mb@huxley ~ $ cd recoverpics/
| mb@huxley ~/recoverpics $ make
| cc -O2 -finline-functions -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE=1 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
| recoverpics.c -orecoverpics
| strip recoverpics
| mb@huxley ~/recoverpics $ ./recoverpics
| Usage: recoverpics <file> [offset] [max-output-size]

Then you should be able to run it as "./recoverpics /dev/sda" or
something.

good luck :)
