File in question is http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/downloads/detail?name=wkhtmltopdf-0.10.0_rc2-static-i386.tar.bz2

meder@pc:~$ tar -xvjf wkhtmltopdf-0.10.0_rc2-static-i386.tar.bz2 
bzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file.
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

I tried to unzip it as well, and I tried a various slew of commands to no avail on my Debian box which has no GUI.

I downloaded this on my local desktop ( Ubuntu ) and was able to easily extract w/ my mouse so I'm not exactly sure what the extractor did differently...

What does file tell you? It may have been uncompressed why you downloaded it. If so, it's just not compressed at all.

Son of a.. I seemed to have wget'd a 404/hotlink page instead of the actual file. Thanks and accepting asap. – meder Feb 13 '11 at 9:55
