Hello,
Try setting the decompressor executable location in the shell environment before running the jar file. On the shell command line on my Mac I would run:
setenv BZIP_DECOMPRESSOR /user/bin/bunzip2

and then
java -jar skyview.jar survey=SDSSg sampler=null deedger=null Compress=T position=236.24709547,-0.4752636

Let me know if this does not work for you.

This is how I did it: “$ java -jar skyview.jar survey=SDSSg sampler=null deedger=null Compress=T position=236.24709547,-0.4752636 BZIP_DECOMPRESSOR=/user/bin/bunzip2”
But I still have retrieval error.
I don’t understand how to do it correctly. Can you give an example? Thanks.
