Unless you tell us what went wrong, we can only guess at your problem.
It is possible that your web browser has already uncompressed the file
for you, but did not bother removing the 'gz' suffix from its name.
It is also possible that the file was corrupted in transmission.

You can check for the first problem with the 'file' command.  If your
web browser has already uncompressed the file for you, 'file gcc.ps.gz'
will print 'PostScript document text' or a similar string.  If it
hasn't, you should get 'gzip compressed data' or a similar string.

You can check for the second problem with the 'md5sum' command.  Here
are checksums for all of the files named 'gcc.ps.gz' on the web
server.  (I don't know which one you downloaded.)

Run the "md5sum" command on the file you have.  If you do not get any
of the numbers in the left column, and the file is still compressed,
it must have been corrupted.  Did you perhaps download it with a FTP
client set to text mode?
