That's what you get for breaking the rules;-)

I presume you downloaded a tarball?

I suggest you "rpm --erase" the old one. If you installed the 
replacement sensibly, that will be the end of it.

At worst, you will need to reinstall your download (but check first for 
a newer one, OOo on Windows was just nagging me).

If my assumptions are bad, best you go into more detail about just what 
you have done.
