Why? Didn't you find the gen_ha1 into /usr/sbin?

If you want to replace the version installed from RPM with one compiled 
from sources is better to uninstall the RPMs (backup your config file; 
rpm -e ser; rpm -e ser-mysql) and then do a clean installation from sources.

You can overwrite the binaries with new ones generated from sources but 
there may occur version mismatching, besides that, when installing from 
sources the target directories are different that when installing from 
packages. I think, by default, the prefix for a installation from 
sources is '/usr/local' and for packages is just '/usr'. Also, the 
config file is placed in different locations.
