Better to just have one copy. It is problematic for ./configure scripts to know which one to use.

libraries from ubuntu packages go in /usr/lib/, stuff you compile yourself goes in /usr/local/lib. It's up to you to decide which version you want, but know that if you remove the ubuntu package you will also have to remove all other packages that depend on that.

you did not compile PROJ4 yourself and yet there is a copy of it in /usr/local/lib ?! that would be quite strange.

check if it came from a package with:
  dpkg -S /usr/local/lib/libproj.so.0
