Then get the source of newer version and compile it yourself under
stable environment.
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-system.en.html#s-sourcebuild
This will avoid all library issues. You may need to patch this source
or upgrade other programs...
You can get good binary and example source from http://www.backports.org/
This is not trivial thing.
Pinning works nicely on simple bash shell and doc packages but I am not
so much fan when it coms to binary C programs.
