I don't know about trojaned... I get this when unpacking it:

...blah-dee-blah... some files in contrib/....
gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

I use the 'v' option, zxvf, for verbose (with tar); was your tgz complete?
(Doing this on rh9, and retrieved it with wget.  The first line of error
here is the same a gotten if gzip is used, of course.)

Maybe a transfer error or something?  The file I got from your link was
6795608 bytes, and was dated "Oct  9 12:56", but failed at
espgs-7.07.1/contrib/gsj/drivers/jpdf-0.2.1/japan1.pdf  ; )
which was only 243200 bytes, and 'file' on it returned:
PDF document, version 1.2
I find it strange that this file was complete from the apparently broken
tarball...

More generally, I've noticed plain old failure of some of the sf mirrors
recently.  Hum.  I haven't noticed any weerd behaviour on /. although it is
also host on, and what is up with, osdn?  

g'd eve
