A general rule is: "DO NOT mix binaries from the repos with self compiled components". If you want to self compile then be prepared to compile the entire tool chain (gdal, grass, gdal-grass-plugin, qgis). I know this rule is not absolute in the sense that I use binaries for qt, postgresql, etc, but at least for the core packages it is a rule which saves a lot of potential pain. Also be aware that maintaining binaries from the repo and a self compiled version at the same time (parallel installation of the entire tool chain) is tricky. The software may compile against the correct version of a dependency, but then may load the incorrect version at run time. Building is straight forward *IF* you have a clean system. Hope this helps.
