Thanx for your reply Paul. But I am still not able to compile
tar-1.13.93. I saw several error massages the last week while I was
trying to compile tar. This is the last one: 

martin:~/src/tar-1.13.93$ make
cd . && /bin/sh /home/martin/src/tar-1.13.93/config/missing --run aclocal-1.8 
-I m4
autom4te: unknown language: Autoconf-without-aclocal-m4
aclocal-1.8: autom4te failed with exit status: 1
make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 1
martin:~/src/tar-1.13.93$ 

$ gettext --version
gettext (GNU gettext-runtime) 0.12.1
$ 

I would be really happy if it would be possible to install tar on my
computer. Does anybody know what I could try to do make that error
message away?
