It sounds like you are trying to upgrade packages via source code. 
Aren't you using Debian?  Trying to upgrade core packages by source code 
on a binary based distribution is an unnecessary nightmare.  If you want 
a compile-from-source distribution that really works, look into Gentoo. 
  Otherwise you should really stick to the binary install/uninstall 
tools supplied by your distribution.
