no, you should not get a package, but the source code : 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/pd-gem/develop

somthing like : 
svn co https://pd-gem.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pd-gem/trunk/Gem  Gem/
should grab everything you need.

then, you'll have to read the README.linux in src folder
basically, you'll have to :
autoconf
./configure
sudo apt-get install whaterver missing
./configure
make
sudo make install
