If you are trying to upgrade via source you will have to first upgrade from
4.x to 5.x and then from 5.x to 6.x.  I don't think it is possible to go
directly from 4.x to 6.x.


The other option available is of course to make a backup of all data and
config files, make a new clean install of 6.x, and then restore files from
backup.
