Two questions: what are you trying to use it with?

Just install the system texlive if you can spare the space. That's the
least maintenance-intensive solution. Then point your PATH variable to
look at your TeXlive binary directory first.
For AUCTeX, I have a command that lets me select between system and
various manually installed TeXlive versions. If you are using Emacs, I
can post the code to do that here.
