I did just this a few days ago on one of our dev boxes at work based on 
this HOWTO[1]. I did not have admin rights, so I created an opt 
directory in my home dir and included a --prefix=/home/kamal/opt on the 
./configure script command line.

I did try to compile 1.8.5 but I had some compilation problems. The 
version I installed is 1.8.4.
