If you compile from source, everything *should* get installed 
into /usr/local/. This is a default action in most .configure 'prefix=' 
parameters.

This means that anything you install this way will not interfer with you apt 
packet management, as the rule is that debian packages will never use 
the /usr/local...

I did download the source and the configure script fails for me saying;

---
X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation 
and add the correct paths!
---

I haven't had chance to look into this yet...
