It's because you've got a .tar.gz file, and your version of tar [are you
using solaris, by any chance?] doesn't understand gzip compression. The way
to decompress .tar.gz files that works an almost any un*x platform is:
gzip -cd something.tar.gz | tar -xf -
Although be warned: soalris tar has a HUGE problem, and for a lot of things
you should use the gnu one instead [and if you're using the gnu one, then
the -z option will work anyway]. Usually it's installed someplace like
/opt/gnu/bin
Hope this helps
