The instructions that you NEED to follow are at... /usr/src/UPDATING Read them carefully and be very sure you have a solid backup. This method of upgrading the system from source across a major version can be tricky. Most people avoid it and simply do a fresh install starting at 4.0 to avoid any issue with doing the source upgrade. Once you are at 4.0RELEASE, going to STABLE or even 4.1 using source should not be all that difficult.
