short answer make uninstall, as Thomas already said.

long answer , depends how you run the configure script, have you pass
to the configure --prefix=/usr ? in that case you better NOT run make
uninstall, otherwise you will delete also the cairo version provided
with the packages of you distro (if your distro installs the system
libraries in /usr) breaking your system the hard way...

as you see there are plenty of variables possible, when asking this
sort of questions you should give all the details to avoid the "short
answer"
