They are pretty separated, generally speaking self-compiled binaries get installed to /usr/local while packages install to /usr. Which libraries get used depends on the order of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH I would think. Strangely I had to install the deb of plt 4.2.4 first in order to get the compiled version to build - go figure... cheers, dave
