Worked for me.  I installed it yesterday on the offchance, but it's going
to take a year or so to run on my box...

chmod 755 ./bbcclimate.sh
./bbcclimate.sh
./bbcclimate/run_client

worked for me.

Be aware that it seems to scavenge any proxy data it can from the
environment on first unpacking, which is unhelpful if they're wrong when
you start...

It's probably unpacked it somewhere.  cd to the directory above it, then
rerun that script.
