This is really strange. I just downloaded these files (py152.tgz and 
omnipython-i586_linux_2.0_glibc2.1.tar.gz) and untared them on a RedHat
6.0 machine and everything worked fine!

Maybe the  suffix .gz has been lost during your ftp download and you
only have a file named omnipython-i586_linux_2.0_glibc2.1.tar but which
still is a compressed archive. Try 

tar xzvf omnipython-i586_linux_2.0_glibc2.1.tar

or rename the file with the suffix .gz appended.

Maybe this helps,

bye, Marcus
