You need to either:
a) Be in the directory containing the tarball (tar.gz) OR
b) Add absolute path to your untar command:
tar xvzf /path/to/tarball.tar.gz
To be in the directory, or to see if the file is in the directory you are in, use the bash commands cd and ls to change directory and list files.

Make sure that directory is writeable(so no cdroms,ntfs partitions,...), otherwise you'll have to cp it to a directoy you can write to (like the home directory or /tmp)
