For #2, it sounds like you are trying to build from source with the
binary, which doesn't work.  If you download the source and try again
it should be OK.  While this takes around 2 hours (depending on your
machine of course), it does make upgrading easier.

I am not sure what is wrong with #1, since I never use the binaries.
Probably someone else can help with that.
