I just want to install the newest version of clang http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/clang-3.2

Does this mean I have to update my kernel to raring?

Clang 3.2.1 is currently available for 12.04(Precise), 12.10(Quantal) on Launchpad.

Clang 3.2.1 for 13.04(Raring) is available from the universe repository and can be installed normally through Synaptic or apt.

For 12.04, You can add the PPA to your repository through Synaptic using the following line(with instructions provided in the link below):

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kxstudio-team/builds/ubuntu precise main

Or, from the command line(Ctrl+Alt+t):

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kxstudio-team/builds
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install clang

For 12.10, you can either download the more recent deb files from here and install with sudo dpkg -i <package name> or install from a PPA.

To install the PPA on 12.10, run the following commands from the terminal(Ctrl+Alt+t):

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:georgekola/clang
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install clang

In Synaptic, add the following line:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/georgekola/clang/ubuntu quantal main

Note for the 12.10 packages: The deb files are named 3.2-1~exp5ubuntu1 from February 2013, while the PPA is 3.2-1~exp1ubuntu3 from December 2012. Personally, I am using clang 3.2.1 on 12.04 and cannot currently give a recommendation over which package to use on 12.10.

    I also have backports for Quantal and Precise in [one of my PPAs](https://launchpad.net/~george-edison55/+archive/clang3.2-backports). – Nathan Osman Apr 03 '13 at 03:28
  • @George Edison Excellent! No reason why you shouldn't post this as an answer. – Kevin Bowen Apr 03 '13 at 04:29
  • Well, currently there is bug with the packages - they depend on a couple of packages that require a GCC 4.7 build from one of my other PPAs. I'm working to remove all external dependencies from the PPA. – Nathan Osman Apr 03 '13 at 04:54

    Just a note: Jeroen Keiren's PPA seems to work better for me on Quantal. The compilers in either PPA have a problem with using the `-fsanitize=undefined` flag, but I think that's a known issue. – detly Aug 22 '13 at 04:41
  • @Nathan Are the newer versions of `clang` available for 12.04? – Nickolai Leschov May 16 '14 at 03:00
  • @Nickolai: I have no idea. To be honest, now that Trusty is out, I'm not really doing anything with 12.04 any more. – Nathan Osman May 16 '14 at 03:30
  • @NathanOsman Does Trusty have the very latest clang at the moment? – Nickolai Leschov May 16 '14 at 12:37
