There are so many .tar.xz files under the directories of nightlies and snapshots (there are some other files and folders other than the ones I mentioned). Do you mind if you direct me the accurate one to have gfortran compiler and Fortran library in my Ubuntu desktop? The links that I followed is here:

As another responder said, this site doesn't appear to be associated 
with the gfortran project, so the advice given there would be more 
relelvant.
Given that you want to run on Ubuntu, a build for a standard version of 
linux wouldn't work.  You will need to start with an installation of 
gcc/g++/gfortran provided by your Ubuntu package manager; see
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortranDistros
for newer builds and advice.
If you want the latest development version, once you have a reasonably 
current gcc/g++ you will need to build from source, using the snapshot 
svn or git download and the instructions on gcc.gnu.org.
