          It means you are using the wrong commands, or your file is bad.

          tar -zxf will try to use gunzip and tar together, try it w/o the z switch.

              It looks to me like a corrupted archive. When the data is checked by the crc it doesn't translate into anything readable. I dunno what you could do about that.

                  Sounds like the tarball is broken to me...
                  Make sure you downloaded it in binary format

                                          download from web in binary and make sure you keep the correct file extension (netscape tends to strip the .gz)
                                          upload in binary
                                          tar xvfz files.tar.gz

                                          Repeat as needed
