While attempting to install Firefox onto Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4, I received the following error from tar:

fada1eapm04$tar -xvjf ./firefox-10.0.tar.bz2

bzip2: Compressed file ends unexpectedly; 

       perhaps it is corrupted?  *Possible* reason follows.

bzip2: Inappropriate ioctl for device

I was unable to get tar to complete when I attempted to test file integrity using the "-tvv" option either, and subsequent attampts to download the file again and retry yield the same results.

It is possible that your RedHat distribution doesn't support the bz2 compression that is used to compress that file.
