if package "ppp" from arch repo fit your needs:

pacman -Sy ppp

It's really hard to give accurate advice when you say some errors appeared without telling us exactly what those errors are. They're output for a reason.

But to add to arlite's post, if you are trying to install the package from somewhere locally you need (ppp is on the install cd I'm pretty sure so you don't need net access to get it)

pacman -U [file location]

I think -A was an old option that's been depreciated in favor of -U.  Also based on what you wrote - ppp-2.4.4-x86_64.pkg - DON'T uncompress the package, pacman will take care of that itself.
