s'ok found out how to do it.
Here is how I did it, just download the pre-built executable for your system:
http://www.sentex.net/~mwandel/jhead/
and upload it via FTP in binary mode to a folder on your site, CHMOD it to 755 and remove any .txt extension and update your config path to jhead appropriately.
Remember to run rescan photos and check for EXIF in scan database on admin.
