I have been trying to open up compress.so file but it is as my edition of Ubuntu 8.04 hasn't got COMPRESS in its system, I have tried all kinds of apt-get versions I can think of to open the COMPRESS tarball

what or how can I get that installed properly onto my system ??

Please install:
mscompress - Microsoft "compress.exe/expand.exe" compatible (de)compressor
ncompress - Original Lempel-Ziv compress/uncompress programs

Please open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install mscompress ncompress

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Hope this helps
