Installed bitcoin 0.9 via git.
How to update to 0.10 ?

[grue]

Code:

git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
cd bitcoin-master
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
make install

[mitak64]

user@ubuntu:~$ cd bitcoin-master
-bash: cd: bitcoin-master: No such file or directory

user@ubuntu:~$ cd bitcoin-master
-bash: cd: bitcoin-master: No such file or directory

Are you executing the command inside the directory bitcoin-master is located? check via running:

Code:

 ls  

[mitak64]

I only have a "bitcoin" folder
no "bitcoin-master" folder

You can update to 0.10rc3 like this if you want to keep the previous binary around.  I prefer to keep a few back as a safety net:

cd ~
git clone -b v0.10.0rc3 https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git bitcoin0.10rc3
cd bitcoin0.10rc3
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-incompatible-bdb
make
make check

(I'd been running 0.10rc2 since there was no need to update to rc3, but just downloaded and compiled rc3 this way).

(You may not need the  --with-incompatible-bdb   )

cd bitcoin instead of cd bitcoin-master

It all went through fine, but now when I start bitcoind it still reports its running 0.9 .
How do I make it start 0.10 ?

Why not simply Unistalling your whole Client & deleting AppData folder by keeping a backup of the blocks or boostrap.dat & wallet.dat files then install it back once again from here (whatever your Operating system is) https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.10.0/test/

Try

make install


or you can  replace the old binary.  Could be in /usr/bin/  depending on how it was installed.
