Where did you find v0.8?
(The message is not the same because I guess you're using an old fork, isn't it ?)
Yes, litecoin 0.8 version cloned. Try unlocking the wallet using walletpassphrase first.
If the wallet was locked, the error message would be:
Code:
$ /opt/bitcoin/bin/bitcoin-cli dumpprivkey 3CZELpSSQMiyd3QHVxnrF968ksL5AAAAAA
error code: -13
error message:
Error: Please enter the wallet passphrase with walletpassphrase first.
error code: -13
error message:
Error: Please enter the wallet passphrase with walletpassphrase first.
When type "dumpprivkey (address) " at console window at qt program,
If error message shows like
--------
Private key for address (address) is not known (code -4)
--------
What this means?

It seems the wallet doesn't know the private key of given address. You won't be able to spend coins of this address without importing its private key first.
Are you sure the address is correct and the wallet is supposed to know the private key ? Because it doesn't.
