Uncompress and untar it, compile it, and -install it as globally as you can. I can't resist a quick flame, directed at the "power users" in general --- As an Unfortunate User with a limited disk quota on a system that is constantly nagging people about 99.9% disk utilization, it is really difficult for me to justify keeping (and paying for) personal variants of all the system software in my own account. I could spend all my time trying to tell the sysadmins what software to upgrade and how, but "mind your own business and leave me alone" gets to be an uninteresting response after awhile.
