Okay, so that's an official source tarball, good.

That latter command would have been *far* more sensible (provided you remember 
the extra sudo in the middle) - it would configure, build and install the 
version you just downloaded from the Squid website.

Okay, that'll tell you what Ubuntu thinks has been installed via the package 
manager.

Yes, I completely agree you should upgrade from Squid 3.1

You might also consider upgrading from Ubuntu 12.04... :)

No, that's just an editor syntax rules file, for "intelligent" highlighting 
when you edit the Squid config file.

Leave it or delete it; it's nothing to do with installing or running Squid.

Now *that* sounds good.

No, it won't, because you didn't install it through the package manager.

Excellent.

Do you really mean "squid" or do you mean "./squid"?

If it's the first, I don't understand the relevance of being in /etc/init.d

Good.

What do you get from the following:

	/etc/init.d/squid status
	/etc/init.d/squid restart


Basically I think you are doing very well now.
