uncompressing a file with bzip2 compression using tar 1.15.1 built in /tools failed for me.

From what you guys have both said, I'm assuming you expected it to add the j option on its own ?


For tar >= 1.15.x all you should need to do on compressed tarballs is:

'tar -xf file.tar.{bz2,gz}'

tar can now automatically discover the compression type and decompress it appropriately.
