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
