I got exactly the same error in doing something similar:
it is the untar phase based on cmake that seem to fail on some kind of tar:
in the untar phase, externalProject uses cmake -E tar xvf <tar file>
and this is the part that fail.
if I issue the command:
>cmake -E tar xzf boost-1.41.0.cmake0.tar.gz
or unpack and
cmake -E tar xf boost-1.41.0.cmake0.tar
got the same error
CMake Error: Problem with tar_extract_all(): Invalid argument
It seem somehow related to some kind of tar version or content:
for example it happened to me also getting the latest pycrypto
http://ftp.dlitz.net/pub/dlitz/crypto/pycrypto/pycrypto-2.1.0.tar.gz
Probably we should issue a bug

I'm trying to get ExternalProject_Add to work, using a tar.gz file as
the source. My experiment thus far is with boost, and my code looks
like this:

)
This produces the boost target, as expected, but building the target
results in failure:

Is there any way to know exactly what is going wrong with the extraction?
Thanks,
