I am using sphinxsearch in conjunction with Thinking Sphinx in my Rails app and now I ran into this problem: Thinking Sphinx unknown identifier groupby
Now locally I get the current version of sphinx by installing it through homebrew:
brew install sphinx
Now the version, which was installed is 2.2.4:
brew info sphinx
# sphinx: stable 2.2.5, HEAD
# http://www.sphinxsearch.com
# /usr/local/Cellar/sphinx/2.2.4 (15 files, 17M) *
On my production server I seem to have an outdated version of sphinxsearch which seems to be the cause of my problem:
apt-get update
apt-cache show sphinxsearch
# Package: sphinxsearch
# Version: 2.0.4-1.1
# Installed-Size: 9909
# Maintainer: Radu Spineanu <radu@debian.org>
# Architecture: amd64
# Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.5), libexpat1 (>= 2.0.1), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1), libmysqlclient18 (>= 5.5.24+dfsg-1), libpq5, libstdc++6 (>= 4.1.1), libstemmer0d (>= 0+svn527), zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4), adduser
Debian says:

So it seems that I can only install 2.0.x of sphinxsearch through apt. Why is this and how can I update without having to compile the package from source.
There are ubuntu packages here: http://sphinxsearch.com/downloads/release/
just download and install via dpkg directly
