This is a bit off-topic for this list but,

Uninstall your previous deb version.

Untar the tarball, read the 'INSTALL' file (or whatever looks like it
gives install instructions).

Usually, './configure; make; make install' will install into /usr/local
(recommended).

Read http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-Building-HOWTO.html for more
detailed information.
