You have an odd version there! All of the versions I have seen have been in
RPM format. There will be .gz versions out there but I would hope that you
could find an RPM version.

It could be that there is an RPM lurking under the .gz if so then what you
should do is type "tar -z <filename>". If after this you have an rpm file in
that directory then you can follow my original instructions. If not then I
am afraid I can't help (I am a newbie myself and I only answered your
original question because I have successfully installed wp8 myself). If you
don't find an RPM under the .gz then if your email can handle it I can send
you the RPM file. Or alternatively you can ask the more advanced members of
this newsgroup for help (it might help to use a subject like "FAO gurus" or
something like that).
