installing libva and intel-vaapi-driver

I downloaded libva 2.1 and intel-vaapi-driver 2.1 I compiled and "make install" and the libs were installed in /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/lib/dri.

But when I run "vainfo", it shows the old version and not the new 2.1 version. What did I do wrong?

I had to use ./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

While user372194 answer fixed their problem, for others Intel have a detailed installation instructions for both the libva and the libva-utils for Ubuntu 16.4, .

Step 7 from the link for simplicity.

cd $WORKING_DIR
git clone
git clone
cd $WORKING_DIR/libva
git checkout <libva commit id>
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
make -j4
sudo make install
cd $WORKING_DIR/libva-utils
git checkout <libva-utils commit id>
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
make -j4
sudo make install
