Thanks, I will try if I can. Unfortunately, this is not default in the
distro. Ubuntu use 1.99 in 12.04 lts at the moment.
I will see if I can get the beta version to compile on another machine
(compiling on a slow old machine on slow usb is not an option, I have
limits).
Or is there a repo for precompiled beta binaries? So much easier.
