I'm an Ubuntu Linux user looking to upgrade my Emacs from version 23.1.1 to the current version (23.3 I think). I have tried all of the suggested methods of upgrading on this thread, but none of them work.
How do I go about this?

I build the emacs from repo. I use git mirror to keep the local copy. (one day older than the official bzr repo)
sudo apt-get install git build-essential
sudo sudo apt-get build-dep emacs
git clone git://github.com/emacsmirror/emacs
cd emacs
./autogen.sh &> log.autogen
./configure &> log.configure
make bootstrap &> log.bootstrap
sudo make install &> log.install
once in while i do git pull to catch up the repo & build again.

Just a correction - you'd do git pull to update to the newest version. – icyrock.com – 2011-06-30T00:38:44.817
