When you run './configure', the default prefix under which the programs
are installed is '/usr/local'.  So, to run the GRUB 2 programs,
run /usr/local/bin/grub-install, etc.

You can also change the prefix with './configure --prefix=/opt/grub2'
for instance.  I would recommend you do NOT use '/usr' as the prefix
for hand-compiled installations when you have GRUB legacy (or even an
instance of GRUB 2) installed with your OS distribution's package
management system.

Also, there is no "grub" command in GRUB 2.  So, if you run "grub" and
you have GRUB 0.97 installed, that's what you get.
