You can just install over it if you like, but that may leave some
cruft from the old version.

Unless you are recording all the files that were installed, or you are
keeping the old build tree around so you can run make uninstall (which
is not tested very often, so probably doesn't completely work) I would
recommend using --prefix=/usr/local/octave/2.9.3 (or similar) when
running configure.  That way, you can easily wipe out an old install
using rm -rf on the install tree.
