Trunk always requires the most recent release. And currently that is 2.2.2,
not 2.2.0. 

I know, Ubuntu is still the old version, and already in the process of
updating since september (2.2.2 was released August 11th btw) but we can't
help that either.

Easiest is to download the .tar, and only extract the commandline compiler.
