Its very easy and fast (at least for 1.8.x i did it for some of our
older build machines). Just configure, compile and install [1]. Maybe
setup the PATH of your machine if you installed 1.9 into a separate
directory. Than you can easily delete if if 1.9 is available over the
package management.

(should be the same on Kubuntu)
