Yes, your first huge mistake is that you don't show us the complete
unmodified error message.

Run the "file" command on the darkice-0.13.1.tar.gz file to verify
that it is a gzip'ped tar file actually. Some browsers unzip
gzip'ped files after download (e.g. Mozilla) without changing the
file name. In that case, the tar file is uncompressed already and
you would need to drop the 'z' option from tar xfz.
