What tar command line have you used? This sounds _very_ strongly like a
missing f option, so that tar wants input from STDIN. Try
cd /opt; tar xfzv <full path of so.tar.gz file>
where 'x' means 'extract', 'f' means 'use file instead of STDIN (or
/dev/stx)', 'z' means 'use gzip to de-compress' and 'v' means 'be
verbose'.
I think you left the 'f' :-)
