what is the easiest way to upgrade bitcoin-qt on ubuntu to this version?

I'm on Mint but expect it's the same for you. I couldn't just double run the bitcoin-qt as I coudl with 0.8.6 but it runs when started from the command line.
So, cd ~/bitcoin-0.9.0-linux/bin/32 and ./bitcoin-qt &

Wow thanks I have been pulling my hair out here. To think that simple solution was probably there for me the whole time. Why is my Ubuntu 12.04 trying to use gedit to open the executable? The icons for them is the paper one and gedit is set as default to open them. What is different to make Ubuntu not recognize them as executables?

The file does not have the "executable" permission probably. Right click on it and add the permission.

Uuhh yeah thanks... It's checked, but for some reason gedit is set as default application to open it with and if I remove it as default app Ubuntu doesnt know what to do with it. It's no big deal I was just curious why Ubuntu isn't recognizing it as an executable. All of the binaries in the bin directory are doing this...
