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).
