right way to upgrade latest jack without braking ubuntustudio?

[Andrew Oikle]

You don't need to uninstall the distro versions.  Just compile and install,
and those versions will be chosen over the distro ones.  BTW, I didn't have
to compile jackd.  You only need the development libs (libjack-dev), along
with whatever lib*-dev packages ardour needs to compile.
