Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 I've found a reference to a similar problem:

 https://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-
 changes/2014-April/103619.html

 It suggests that you have set the `BZIP2` environment variable to the path
 to the bzip2 program. But the bzip2 program actually uses that variable
 for additional arguments. So you should unset the `BZIP2` environment
 variable.
