/usr/bin/install and gtar


I am still working on building firefox rpm, and the newest problem is that after the "build" section, it gets to the "install" section, and fails there.

Code:
$ /usr/bin/install -d -m0755 /home/gjerp/rpm/tmp/firefox-1.5.0.1-1edg-root/usr/lib64 gtar -xvz -C /home/gjerp/rpm/tmp/firefox-1.5.0.1-1edg-root/usr/lib64 -f BUILD/mozilla/dist/firefox-1.5.0.1.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.gz
/usr/bin/install: invalid flag -- x
Try «/usr/bin/install --help» for more information.
the gtar segment works fine alone, but for some reason it seems "install" tries to use the flags meant for gtar. is there a way to "group" the parts that belong together?
