How do I install graphviz 2.29 in 12.04?

In my ubuntu 12.04, the graphviz is not the latest version(2.29). I need some features available in the latest version of graphviz.
I tried to install the graphviz version 2.29, which requires libgraphviz4(>=2.18).
I anyhow installed libgraphviz4 and installed graphviz 2.29. For that I have to remove packages libcdt4 and libpathplan4.

Now whenever I try to generate graph, I get some problems:
For e.g.:

dot -Kfdp -n -Tpng -o samplePOS.png forcePOS.dot

It says:

dot: error while loading shared libraries: libgvc.so.6: cannot open

shared object file: No such file or directory



neato -Tps -o sample_1.ps sourcedot.gv

It says:

neato: error while loading shared libraries: libgvc.so.6: cannot open

shared object file: No such file or directory

So, I am looking for some ways so that I can run graphviz 2.29 in my ubuntu 12.04.

First a warning for using PPA (mainly unstable)

Are PPA's safe to add to my system and what are some "red flags" to watch out for?

The below PPA: ppa:dperry/ppa-graphviz-test is an unstable PPA. So, you are given warning.

Use this commands in a terminal to install the unstable 2.29 version of graphviz.

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:dperry/ppa-graphviz-test

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get autoremove graphviz

sudo apt-get install graphviz

If you get this error "graphviz : Depends: libgraphviz4 (>= 2.18) but it is not going to be installed", run the following

sudo apt-get remove libcdt4

sudo apt-get remove libpathplan4

sudo apt-get install graphviz
