It will interfere with packaging.
/usr/local is the place where all user-built software
should be installed.
Two versions of Jack can happily coexist - one in /usr
and one in /usr/local. Only one can be active at a time
of course. But it is easy to switch between them.
If you want to switch back to the packaged version simply
uninstall your user-built version from /usr/local.
Thus I mentioned "sudo ldconfig" /may/ be sometimes
required (I think it may have been with jack-1) so that
the system can find (switch over to) the new libraries,
to be able to immediately start using the new installation.

You are right. The problem was the conflict with
the old jack libraries
But .waf install with ldconfig did not help.
You need to tell "./waf configure" to install jack over
the existing jack package files. On Debian systems I use
--prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
Your distro may use different locations, but it's easy
to check.
