OK, I reloaded the I386 version of the binaries, and I was able 
to apt-get install XE. Then I ran the configure script as instructed.

Then I se ORACLE_HOME, and added the appropriate directory to the
path. Now sqlplus will start, but when I try to log in to the database,
I get an error message about the tns:name being incorectly specified.
I seached for tnsname.ora, and it does not seem to exist. Where should I
create this file?
