how to upgrade iphoto 8.1.2 to iPhoto 11?

I have MBP OS 10.6.8 and want to upgrade iPhoto 8.1.2 to iPhoto '11 so my iPhoto Library from my MBA which uses iPhoto '11 with OS 10.6.8 can be opened. I have gone to the Apps stall to purchase the upgrade and I get this message

"iPhoto 8.1.2 is already installed and was not purchased from the Mac App Store

Do you want to buy iPhoto 9.4.3?"

I need help as I am not sure what the Apps is refering to as I want iPhoto '11. Any help wll be appreciated. Thanks

Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Purchase a iLife DVD from Amazon or ebay - install it on your MPB (do not install it on your MBA)

Ok, went to apps stall and tried to buy upgrade iPhoto to 9.4.3 and I get this message

"We could not complete your purchase.

iPhoto can't be installed on Untitled because Mac OS X version 10.7.5 or later is required."

I am lost to what to do next. Upgrade my OS X? How? I do need both Librarires form my macs to be inter usable.

Thanks

As Larry says, if you want an earlier version then you'll need to purchase an iLife install disk.

Pease re-read my answer

the solution is

Purchase a iLife DVD from Amazon or ebay - install it on your MPB (do not install it on your MBA)

You can not purchase iPhoto '11 from the App store unless you have OS X 10.7.5 or above which is why I did NOT suggest purchasing a download of iPhoto from the App store but purchsaing an iLife '11 DVD form Amazon or Ebay - I did not suggest going to the App store in any way
