Yes, that is best.  OR: you can install into a whole separate tree and ignore 
the first installation.

If you don't have write access into the installation tree (i.e., it was 
installed via root and you don't have root access), then your best bet is 
simply to install into a new tree.  E.g., if OMPI is installed into 
/opt/openmpi-1.6.2, try installing into /opt/openmpi-1.6.5, or even 
$HOME/installs/openmpi-1.6.5, or something like that.
