Thanks! The j switch did the job and unzipped the bz2 file, creating the
LinNeighborhood directory without problem.
However, when I then try the following commands, I get error messages
./configure
make
make install
[root@derfel LinNeighborhood-0.6.5]# ./configure
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c

[root@derfel LinNeighborhood-0.6.5]# make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
[root@derfel LinNeighborhood-0.6.5]# make install
make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.
Any advice?
Out of curiosity, what is the LinNeighborhood executable called, I'm
guessing (bravely enough) that it's Linneighborhood dot something?
I think I read that it should be in /usr/local/bin, though there's nothing
at all in that directory.
Thanks to all who gave me advice, it was and is greatly appreciated.

Subject: Re: [newbie] Problems getting bzip2 to work......
The page details how to uncompress the files if they are in ".tar.gz"
format -- going through the options for tar:
x - extract
z - unzip (via gzip / gunzip)
v - verbose
f - use file following this flag
To unbzip2 a compressed file, you'll have to do:
x - extract
j - unbzip2 (for newer, 8.0 and above releases)
v - verbose
f - use file following this flag
(so that command would be "tar -xjvf Linneighborhood-0.6.5.tar.bz2" without
the quotes).
For more info, do a "man bzip2", "man tar", and "man gzip" without the
quotes.
