Hmm, I'm guessing that box hasn't been updated in at least 5 months... :-)<div><br></div><div>Generally, you'll want to find out if backports has a newer version available. Or, just upgrade the whole box to a more recent version of Ubuntu (or perhaps a different distro altogether...)</div>
<div><br></div><div>If any of those is not possible, you can uninstall it from apt-get and install it from source or binary distribution directly from where you got it. Note that this is less preferable from a support standpoint, but for this particular machine, it should be fine.</div>
