If the extension is tar.gz you can use "tar xzf filename.tar.gz" if it's .tgz then it's the same thing.
If you're using a newer linux distro you should be able to just click on the file in the gui and it will either open like a folder or at least open it in an extraction program. Maybe I'm just spoiled with mandrake? :)

Who 'owns' the file? If it is owned by root, or another user, you may not be able to move it. Start up an xterm, type su, and your root password then go to the desktop folder (probably in something like /home/<username>/.desktop) and move that folder to where you want it. Then type tar -zxvf <filename> to extract it.

You probably don't want to extract this to /, you probably want it in something like /usr/local/src (I personally just keep most source in my home dir until I install it systemwide and then it goes into /usr/local/src)
