I really don't know much about hp-ux, I'm much more familiar with
solaris and a few other unix's.
I can give you few suggestions though, based on what I would do in this
situtation.
It does sound like the tar file is corrupted. make sure , if youre using
ftp to download it, use binary mode and possibly passive ftp.
Try downloading the gcc package from hp (they have a few different
versions and install instructions)
http://h21007.www2.hp.com/dspp/tech/tech_TechSoftwareDetailPage_IDX/1,1703,547,00.html

Actually I think from hp's site you get the package in .depot format,
which means you may not have to untar anything...

Hope this helps. good luck.
