The make --version didn�t work with this make

I did it and the --version. It gave me

Slang was correctly installed !

I had to ! since AbiWord, xemacs and probably other programs didn�t work anymore.
I returned everything to /usr/local/ but the faulty make version that I left in /usr/local_away/bin/
And I was thinking that I could remove 'faulty commands' only one by one as soon as competent people ;-) can identify them.
On the other hand I thought that the commands to use were defined in the $PATH 'list of directory to search' and that they were chosen as first found = first used.
Then if I can change the order of the different directory to search I should be able to avoid using commands in /usr/local/ by putting this directory at the end of the list. This will ensure that the commands that are only there will still be used but the ones that are in 'normal directories' would be chosen first. And, maybe, this will also save your time...
My question is : what file should I set/change to perform that ?
In a multi user system is there a common file for all the users that would overrule all the individual paths settings ?
I didn�t thank you enough, your first suggestion : looking in the config.log folder partially solved the slang install problem but also completely solved the openssl installation problem I had...
