If you compile a new version of jack by hand, you should make sure it 
overwrites the one you have from the package. Usually you do this by 
running configure with the correct prefix:

if "which jackd" gives
/usr/bin/jackd

you run configure with
./configure --prefix=/usr

Overwriting the packaged version ensures that you have only one jack 
version installed, and also should prevent package dependency issues.

The better option is to keep using packaged versions. Also note that 
0.109.2 has some issues that 0.103.0 doesn't have.
