Can't un-tar LibreOffice 4 download

Question

But I get this message

enter image description here

Can someone please explain why this is happening? And can someone tell me how to download it?

@EricCarvalho No, this isn't a duplicate. I have edited the title to clarify that.
I hear using the .deb file does not work too well; it leaves out some Ubuntu-centric features. I found it best to force Ubuntu to upgrade to version 4.0 by typing the following in a terminal (press enter after each line). <code> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa<br> sudo apt-get update<br> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade </code> If you don't have LibreOffice installed for whatever reason, then instead of the last line, type this. <code> sudo apt-get install libreoffice </code>

You downloaded the .rpm file. .rpm is used by Fedora and Red Hat, but Ubuntu and Debian use .deb.

The correct command to un-tar this file would be:

tar -xvzf LibreOffice_4.0.0_Linux_x86-64_rpm.tar.gz

Did you download using the links from my post? They link to the proper .deb files.
