You can't create new classes without compiling MPB from source, which 
means you can't use the precompiled Debian packages.

In any case, this requires a fair amount of work in geom.c, and is 
probably not feasible for you if you are new to writing Unix software.

It's usually not necessary to create your own classes.  You can make 
arbitrary shapes by combining several overlapping objects, or by using the 
material-function type and supplying your own arbitrary function defining 
the shape, or by writing an external program to generate an eps.h5 file 
for the shape and using epsilon-file.

Cordially,
