I do not know where should I get this missing file (mparhack.sty).

I am using Ubuntu 12.04.

I suggest you install vanilla texlive instead of the texlive from the package respiratory. The latter is badly old and also you don't know what to install to get the required package. I am also using ubuntu 12.04 and did this. — rowman, Nov 23 '12 at 20:56
sounds to me like you're either using an version- don't use the version from the repositories, see how-to-install-vanilla-texlive-on-debian-or-ubuntu; mparhack is installed by default — cmhughes, Nov 23 '12 at 21:56

The Comprehensive TeX archive network is the place to go. The package you need is here.
