For development/testing purposes it might be best to uninstall everything in /usr/local/lib (run 'sudo make uninstall' in your source trees) and either install it into some custom prefix like /opt or ~/gstreamer and set up your environment (PATH, PKG_CONFIG_PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH) to use that version when needed, or run an 'uninstalled' GStreamer setup (gst-uninstalled) in your home directory. Depends what you're trying to do how I guess. Or you try to make your own packages with the new versions and install those over the older system ones.
