@Spiker01 in most operating systems there is a PATH environment variable that lists directories to look in for executables. In your case in Linux, usually /usr comes before /usr/local in the search order (try echo $PATH at command line to see). If you have an executable named geany in /usr/bin (the old version from the repos) and one in /usr/local/bin (the shiny new version you compiled), it's going to always use the old one in /usr/bin.

The simplest solution is to just remove the out-of-date Geany package you have installed from your distro repos (ex. apt-get remove geany for Debian-like distros) and everything will just work. Otherwise you have to fiddle with your PATH or specify the full path to which version of Geany you want to use as @elextr said.
