Not able to extract any .gz or .tar file (Mac OS X 10.5.8) I have Mac OS X 10.5.8. I am not able to extract .tar or .tgz files with any of the extractor utilities (Mac OS Default Archiver or WinZip or 7zip or any other, I have tried almost all possible). 

Each of them give same error:


  "Unable to unarchive. (Error 32 - Broken pipe.)"


There is no problem with archived files, I can extract each of them when I use same extractors on Windows.

Would someone please help me with this?
Does it work from a terminal for tgz files? Open a terminal and cd to the folder that has the files and try something like this:

tar xvzf file.tar.gz


Or for plain tar files:

tar xvf file.tar
