bzip2: Compressed file ends unexpectedly;
        perhaps it is corrupted?  *Possible* reason follows.
bzip2: Invalid argument
        Input file = (stdin), output file = (stdout)

It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted.
You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files.

You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover
data from undamaged sections of corrupted files.

i've searched the archives and found this thread http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2008-11/msg00551.html, but the solution seems to be in french, and my languages are english and german.

my python version is:
# python
Python 2.4.3 (#1, Aug 15 2006, 19:02:50) 
[GCC 3.4.4] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

what other info can i post?  i've used and installed lilypond on this and other platforms before; this is the first time i've had trouble.

thanks,
