Oh dear, I think you may have broken your system. You've overwritten files which were being run by your package manager with your own copies. This will break updates and may well cause other programs you haveinstalled to start crashing mysteriously. I think you probably need to wipe your computer and reinstall. If you want a newer copy of a system library you need to install it and everything it needs to a separate prefix. I usually build to a directory in my home area and use environment variables to point the programs that need the new stuff to this area rather than the system one.
