make && sudo make install doesn't work

I'm on OS X 10.6.6 trying to upgrade git and curl.

$ cd ~/Downloads/git-1.7.4.1
$ make && sudo make install
...
$ git --version
git version 1.7.3.2

It scrolls through and seems to work ok, but when I print the version of git (this happens with curl also) I still get the older version. What do I need to do to fix this?

I was able to install the newest version of git through the .dmg file, but curl doesn't have one.

Any tips?

Look at the output of the install. Where does it place the executable? If you have two versions of git in your $PATH, then it might be that it found the wrong one. And you are certain that no errors occurred?
