the z means its doing a gunzip - a gnu decompression command.  ( gzip
compression when combined with an extract option)  many commercial tar
commands dont support it. to get round the problem you can use the gunzip
command directly on the file then untar it with just the xf options of
tar.

You probably have the autoconf programming suite missing or if you do
have them installed they are not in your path.

Hope that helps.
