Sounds like you have multiple versions of jack installed. Probably one
in /usr/local/ (self-built, i assume) and one from a distro in /usr/.

If this is the case, I recommend that you remove the version
in /usr/local and recompile jackd after running ./configure
--prefix=/usr (and any other options you want to use)

Oh, uninstalling is easiest via running "make uninstall" as root from
the jack source directory you installed it from originally. You just
need to do that before selecting a different prefix with "configure".
