Usually, this is a sign of your self-built images conflicting with
distro images (that is pulling in an older distro .so instead of your
just-built .so), and often because you used different configure
arguments than your distro.  I don't build much on Ubuntu so I can't
tell you the exact recipe to use, but I can recommend two possible
solutions:

1. completely uninstall the pre-built distro version, so that you have
only your self-built version accessible

2. when self-building, make sure you use the same configure arguments as
your distro would do (on Fedora-based distros, you can do this with
./autogen.sh --system, when building from git)
