Make your life easy, do this :

wget ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/schily/schily-2012-02-26.tar.bz2

read the arguments at :

http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2012-February/123160.html

Just extract the bz2 file, then cd into it and run make. Nothing else. No
configure needed. Just run make. Then when you run make install it will place
all the goodies into /opt/schily and you can run star or cdrecord or whatever
from there.

To extract any archive :

star -x -v file=foo.tar

If the thing is compressed use :

star -x -v -z file=foo.tar.gz

    or

star -x -v -bz file=foo.tar.bz2

If you want you can enforce overwrite and a fifo buffer and other
cool little features like retaining the uid/gid from the tarball :


star -x -v -xdir -xdot -U -fs=32m -fifostats -time file=foo.tar

The man page is 100 pages long.  :-\
