Who knows ? Because you want Linux to be like Windows ? What is your struggle, with what distro exactly. I use openSUSE but i have run GIP on that and LinuxMint with no problems. Updating GIP on either simply works. Last time I looked the instructions (squarepenguin or github) are easy enough to follow. I know I've done it enough times.

Last time I did it on LinuxMint you find the up to date package and follow the instructions, but unless you tell us where you found the package and what steps you did to install it neither I nor anybody else can help you. If you find a useable package, install it with the Linux Mint package manager it will work. Assuming your LM installation (whatever partition its on) works and you know how to use it.

Running a dual boot Win 7 x64/Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca 64 bit system and
previously installed get_iplayer v2.92 on the Linux partition. It's
Wimbledon, the season of humungous file sizes so I turn to Linux to do
the honours without burping on the large files...... so I try to install
GiP v2.94. It finally works (after I've ripped out what little I have
left of my hair)... until I boot up today and find the system is on
v2.92 ???????

Can someone please explain in monosyllabic step by step terms what I
need to do to update to v2.94 please?

I'm losing the will to live.... :-(

Thanks


Alan
