The z option on the tar command takes care of the unzipping. My guess is that the archive is not complete and therefore the errors.

George for a .gz file you must use gzip so you should be typing:
gzip -d tkhylafax_3.2-1.tar.gz - to decompress the file then do a tar.
You can decompress and explode with one command by typing:
gzip -dc tkhylafax_3.2-1.tar.gz | tar xzf -
Hope this helps Nevada
Try launcing Midnight Commander (file browser), highlight the tar.gz file and press enter. If you cannot see the contents, it is corrupted. mc is pretty smart about files - I've only had problems with files ending in .doc
