The download file is a tar file which is compressed with gzip.
If you have gnu tar use 'tar -xvzf <filename>'. The z options says its a
compressed tar file.
If your systems tar does not know how to handle compressed archives
(like e.g. the Solaris tar) you must first run 'gunzip <filname>'.

I hope this helps,

Ciao, David.
