I just found that the download file "splix-0.0.1.tar.bz2" is in fact 
*not* bzip2-compressed, but gzip-compressed. So it can't be unpacked 
using the "-j" switch of tar. If one uses "-z" unpacking works:

  tar tvzf splix-0.0.1.tar.bz2

Better rename the file to "splix-0.0.1.tar.gz" or "splix-0.0.1.tgz".

Cheers,
Kurt
