Trouble installing the “Qt Assistant compat version”

 

Hi people, My first post so I hope I’m in the right place. I have a Gentoo install of Linux on which I’m running QT 4.7 rc1. I now need to install Paraview V3.8. Paraview requires the older Assistant that has been removed in 4.7 hence I grabbed the compat version as outlined in a blog post [labs.qt.nokia.com]: which has now closed for comment. My question is what do I know do with the gz file. Where do I unzip it? Do I have to qmake && make it and so on. Any advice on getting this installed so I can build Paraview would be greatly appreciated.
