Building nginx on Ubuntu with cache_purge module - help?

Question

I have been trying to rebuild nginx with cache_purge module from http://labs.frickle.com/.

I did the following and somehow the new build doesn't seem to include the module.

Here is what I did:

Installed nginx

stopped it

installed build tools using:

aptitude -y install build-essential libc6 libpcre3 libpcre3-dev libpcrecpp0 libssl0.9.8 libssl-dev zlib1g zlib1g-dev lsb-base

Then :

cd /usr/src/
sudo wget http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.5.8.tar.gz
sudo wget http://labs.frickle.com/files/ngx_cache_purge-2.1.tar.gz
tar -xvf nginx-1.5.8.tar.gz
tar -xvf ngx_cache_purge-2.1.tar.gz
cd nginx-1.5.8

Then I did this:

sudo ./configure --add-module=/usr/src/ngx_cache_purge-2.1

The terminal sprouted a lot of things. Then I did:

sudo make && sudo make install

Finally though, when I do nginx -V, I don't see my module in the list. I see only this:

nginx version: nginx/1.4.1 (Ubuntu) TLS SNI support enabled configure arguments: 
--prefix=/usr/share/nginx --conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf

--add-module=/build/buildd/nginx-1.4.1/debian/modules/nginx-echo 
--add-module=/build/buildd/nginx-1.4.1/debian/modules/nginx-upstream-fair
--add-module=/build/buildd/nginx-1.4.1/debian/module/ngx_http_substitutions_filter_module

Can anybody help me understand if I did the build correctly?

You can use easyengine which install nginx(with cache purge module) php5-fpm mysql and postfix on one go.

Alternatively you can try ppa:rtcamp/nginx which install nginx with cache purge module.

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:rtcamp/nginx 
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nginx-custom
