The source ships with its own versions of several libraries which are either

<para>Please note that installing from source will recompile the binary

files. It will also overwrite the scripts - some of these may be older
versions than those from the newer installer. It will <emphasis>not</emphasis>
recreate any of the following: the more than 200 symlinks in the
x86_64-linux directory (some are alternate names, many are pointers to
the scripts), html files, PDF files, licenses, README files, two config

nor the many package and font files in
<filename class="directory">texmf-dist</filename> and
<filename class="directory">texmf-var</filename>, nor the files recording
the actions of the installer, and the <filename>ls-R</filename> files listing
what was originally installed.</para>

<para>
<parameter>--prefix=, --bindir=, --datarootdir=, --infodir=, --mandir= ...
</parameter>: these switches ensure that the files installed from source
will overwrite the corresponding files previously installed by
<application>install-tl</application>.
</para>
<para>
<parameter>--includedir=, --libdir= ...</parameter> : these switches ensure
that the libraries will be found at runtime, and that programs can be
compiled against them.
</para>
<xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"
href="../../xincludes/static-libraries.xml"/>
<para>
<parameter>--enable-shared</parameter>: Use shared versions of
<filename class="libraryfile">libkpathsea</filename> and
<filename class="libraryfile">libptexenc</filename>.
</para>
<para>
<parameter>--with-system-...</parameter>: Unless this parameter is used,
the included versions of these libraries will be statically compiled
into the programs which need them. If you decided not to install a
recommended library, omit the corresponding switches.
</para>
<para>
<parameter>--with-system-xpdf</parameter>: Uniquely, this parameter has
a non-standard meaning, it tells <command>configure</command> to use the
system-installed <application>poppler</application> headers and library.
Again, omit this if you have not installed
<application>poppler</application>.
</para>
<para>
<option>--without-x</option>: use this if you do not have Xorg installed.
