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 -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
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. Avi Nevada wrote:

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 -- George Toft http://www.georgetoft.com -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
