As you suggested, perhaps try uninstalling the old version, then
re-install.

When you build from tarballs (if building each separately), make sure
you install libgeda first before building the other tools.

You will need the paths set appropriately to where you installed them.
If it is "/usr/local/..." it should be fine, but if it is $HOME/geda,
you will of course need:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/geda/lib:/home/pcjc2/geda/lib/gnucap:$
export PATH=$HOME/geda/bin:$PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/geda/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

These are as suggested by the gEDA toplevel Makefile, and should be set
before building / installing / running the suite.

Note that non /usr/local, or distro (/usr/) installs will not work with
menu-shortcuts / clicking on files in the file browser. (IE.. you need
to launch the gEDA tools from the command line.)
