I have usually installed self-compiled programs without knowing how to
uninstall them later. Today I found a tip how to install without "losing"
them into a filesystem:
->make sure you have program called "checkinstall" present -> untar
sourcefiles -> run "configure" and "make", but instead "make install" run
"checkinstall".
It creates an rpm-package into a usr/src/packages/RPMS/i686, which can be
installed/removed using typical graphical/commandline tools for rpm's.
Blessings,
Jukka
