ld and gcc are very keen in looking libraries form standard
places. You will have hard time installing anything to
non-standard places after you have those tools in standard
locations.
I recommend either
1) use only standard places (and install on top of old release)
or
2) install everything in non-standard only (delete your old code
fromthe stanrard places.)
