I assume you got this fixed since, on that other thread, you said you got one of them unpacked but the command needs a file argument. However, that'd get a different error message. Basically, though - just make sure you're passing a filename to an existing file, including a full or relative path if necessary.

it should be
tar -zxvf filename.tar.gz

or tar -zxvf /path/to/filename.tar.gz
