Help, cant untar .tar.bz2 file 1

[farley99]

# gzip -d snarly_1.0.2.tar.bz2
gzip: snarly_1.0.2.tar.bz2: unknown suffix -- ignored

# tar -xvf snarly_1.0.2.tar.bz2
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

How do i untar a .tar.bz2 file?

bzip2 handles archives with the .bz2 extension.

bzip2 --decompress snarly_1.0.2.tar.bz2
tar -xvf snarly_1.0.2.tar.bz2

What does this mean?

cp: cannot stat `../binaries/iso': No such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 1

> cp: cannot stat `../binaries/iso': No such file or directory

You are trying to copy (cp) ../binaries/iso and it doesn't exist. You issued incorrect options to cp perhaps?

> make: *** [install] Error 1

Make encountered an error while trying to compile some source code.

With newer tar, you can also
tar xvfj file.tar.bz2
