I didn't see your response before I solved the problem but I'm sure that's a possible solution.

For potential future google searchers I had version: bitcoin-0.3.24 and to update to the latest version I slowly worked my way up installing earlier updates bitcoin-0.4.1, bitcoin-0.5.3, bitcoin-0.6.0, and bitcoin-0.6.3.

Go here for the earlier versions. http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/
