I've had issues with this as well.  Although I haven't tested this on
Linux (Debian takes care of GTKmm for me), on Windows/Msys I get the
same error.

However, I can run the individual tools and unzip the file fine.  So
IMHO the problem is related to MinGW.  Just use:
bzip2 -dk glibmm-2.16.1.tar.bz2
tar -xf glibmm-2.16.1.tar

It's inconvenient, but it works.
