Upgrading Fuse?

Hi,

I'm trying to install s3fs but get a configuration warning saying that the current version of s3fs requires fuse 2.8.4 or greater.

when I run pkg-config I see that fuse is 2.7.x

I downloaded the source for 2.8.5, configured, make, make installed and it appears to have correctly built the 2.8.5 libraries in /usr/local/lib but after running 'modprobe fuse' and ldconfig with the correct directory settings pkg-config still says that 2.7.x is the active version.

I'm kind of a newbie at this, so I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong?

How do I get the newly compiled version to be the one the system uses?

I want to use s3fs to rsync my sever to Amazon S3.

I'm running WHM 11.28.77
CENTOS 5.5 i686 standard
