Most likely you've run ‘make install’ at some point and now have
multiple copies installed all over the place, which is why binaries
and libraries are linked to the wrong versions.

I suggest started from scratch (reinstalling your operating system),
and NOT running ’make install’ at any point.  You can use the ‘./run’
script to run things from the build directory.
