Commendable, but the OP professes a great lack of knowledge of linux and the linux/SuSE ways. I would say that the installation of tar balls is contrary to a newby's efforts to maintain his own system.
A valid point but the OP was complaining that the tar command and his inability to use it was SuSE's fault. I thought I would set that straight. I suspect that the OP thought that TAR would do the entire job for him, that of installing the package, and when it didn't work that way, he complained it was tar's fault.
