Installing & Compiling Bluez From Git

I've been trying to compile and install Bluez both from the Git repository (located at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/bluetooth/bluez.git) and the standard "bluez-5.3.tar.gz" package, but I don't think it's working.. I am following the instructions in the README file, but the Bluetooth on my Debian Wheezy doesn't update to the Bluez 5.x version (at least I'm assuming so, since the file in /etc/init.d/bluetooth says it's still for Bluez 4.x; and none of the tests included with the packages work). I have been told by another guy on the mailing list that perhaps the bluetoothd file didn't update properly, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do that (I assumed that it would have updated properly with the "make install" command). I am new to compiling/installing packages from source, so any tips would be appreciated. Thanks. Brendan West
