It is not necessary to do this. The default install to /usr/local
will happily coexist with the installation in /usr. Set the
following environment variables to use libraries, etc., in /usr/local:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
Overwriting files in /usr is a sure way to screw up your entire
system.
