tar files are never executable files. Please read tar's manual page (type
"man tar"). Also, you'll certainly be better off running a pre-packaged
version of dia, tailored to the specific distribution of Linux you're using.
This is NOT a dia issue; you should be able to learn the specifics by
reading the documentation of the particular distribution you're using.
