A tar.gz is just like a zip or rar file.
In most distros, you can just double-click it, and unpack it from there.

Or type in the terminal.

But it's most likely to be source code and not precompiled.
Just Google around for some guides on how to compile stuff on Mandriva.

I found this guide:

There are Fedora rpm's over at http://www.digitalruin.net/

You might be able to get the rpm's working on Mandriva without any tweaking, but if not, a src.rpm is provided that will enable you to build on your own platform. Once you have the necessary development tools (gcc gcc-c++) just run rpmbuild --rebuild xxx.src.rpm

Depending on the differences between Mandriva and Fedora it might work right away, or you might have some issues.
