How about downloading the source package
from:http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1537&package_id=273638&release_id=595643
and building 5.2.0? I don't know if it will build for you but you could
try it. Check out the README file in the package after you download it
for the instructions. If you haven't ever built a package from source
you'll need to learn the command line a bit as it requires using a
terminal shell. It's not very difficult but if you don't know what I'm
talking about you have some learning to do.
