orca isn't finding the gunzip program - presumably you've got a smaller
PATH set when running from cron than when using orca interactively.

Either change your shell startup files so that you do have a decent PATH
when running from cron or (perhaps clearer) write a small shell script
which sets the PATH explictly before calling orca and call then from cron

eg

#!/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/gnu/bin:$PATH
# make sure that the PATH setting includes the directory 
# where you have gunzip installed
export PATH
/usr/local/progs/orcallator/bin/orca -o /usr/local/progs/orcallator/lib/orcallator.cfg

Stick the above in a file, make it executable and call that from cron
instead.
