While it is surely possible to figure out the problem and solve it,
this may involve some significant diagnosis and surgery on your part,
and it will probably be easier for you to just update to a version
where you know that the software is buildable.

You just install as you always would, e.g. by downloading a CD image.
If you don't want to have to reconfigure your system (e.g. /etc, etc)
then you use the 'upgrade' facility of sysinstall.  All of this is
documented in the installation instructions distributed with the
release, and on the website.

Yes.
