I have tried and tried to install a nightly bill or using ppa. [ppa just keeps giving me 1.23.1; so does augmenting /etc/apt/sources.list with recommended deb commands]. When I get clone or download the git .zip file the install instructions say to run ./configure. But there is no configure file in what I download the files.
At one point I gut autoconf to create a configure file (maybe from configure.ac??) but when running it I get
No package 'gtk+-2.0' found [and there is no ubuntu package by that name anyway]
I have tried getting nightly builds of .deb files but have been unable to find them on the recommended sites and wonder anyway about compatibility with my xubuntu 13.10.

Usually (though certainly not always) installing a package built for an older distribution than you’re running is trouble-free. At least it has been for me in seven years using Debian-based operating systems, where third-party packages tend to be built for either the current stable release (Debian) or the current LTS release (Ubuntu). To avoid testing binary-incompatibilities, a neater option in my opinion is to 'copy packages' from https://launchpad.net/~geany-__dev/+archive/ppa/+packages <https://launchpad.net/~geany-dev/+archive/ppa/+packages> to one of your personal PPAs on Launchpad (it's really just a click of a button!). For fun I copied geany - 1.23+dfsg-1~hyper1+raring to https://launchpad.net/~__landronimirc/+archive/__collection/+packages <https://launchpad.net/~landronimirc/+archive/collection/+packages> , and while doing so asked to 'rebuild' for 'Saucy'. But all this is a moot point. Ubuntu Saucy already ships geany-1.23.1. Frank, can you install that? My xubuntu system already installed that, but it apparently does not have the recent R indentation improvements.Thats about 6 months old, but is the current release.
Changes made since then will only be available in Git or nightly builds (http://nightly.geany.org/) until the next release which on past practice will be between 0 and 6 months, with a leaning towards sooner rather than later if a nasty bug in the Windows build gets fixed.
Cheers Lex
