You usually have to un-tar them. I usually use tar to unzip gz files, like
so:
tar -zxvf filename.tar.gz
then go into the dir it created and do your configure, make, make install,
make clean. I always read the readme file first though.

I've copied them ok, but using gzip the only result i can get is the loss of
the .gz extension, and am replaced with two files that I don't know what to
do with. Whether compressed or not, I can't open any readme file or
instruction file.
