The configure script should probably display some information about bzip at compile time warning that the build doesn't support bzip.

The underlying problem at the darshan utility binary level has been fixed in svn. Those tools now print an error like this in this scenario:

Error: this Darshan build does not support bz2 files.
Error: please install libbz2-dev and reconfigure.
darshan_log_open() failed to open ../../../foo_bar_id246361_3-15-57751_1.darshan.bz2

Still need to check what's going on at the darshan-job-summary.pl level.

darhan-job-summary has been fixed in svn as well. The full stderr output from darshan-job-summary now looks like this:

Error: this Darshan build does not support bz2 files.
Error: please install libbz2-dev and reconfigure.
darshan_log_open() failed to open ../../../zuhone_flash3_id246361_3-15-57751_1.darshan.bz2
