How can I make my Ubuntu look for a library from a given source


I'm trying to compile scilab (yes, my task is to compile it instead of using apt-get) but after solving some problems I get the following one:

checking minimal version (Specification-Version 2.2) of jogl2... configure: error: Wrong version of jogl2. Expected at least 2.2. Found 2.1

2.1 seems to be the latest one apt-get offers so I downloaded the newest version from http://jogamp.org/deployment/jogamp-current/archive/jogamp-all-platforms.7z and successfully compiled it (sudo ant junit.run returns successful unit tests) but when I go back to scilab it still finds the 2.1 version of jogl. How can I make it look for the newer one I compiled?
