That's why I use checkinstall - great little thing for doing a 'make
install', then creating an rpm out of the result. Uninstall is then as
simple as removing any other rpm. The resultant rpm isn't "clean", because
the dependency info etc. is absent, but it's perfect for tracking installs
of software you compile yourself. I couldn't say for sure, but checkinstall
is probably part of your distro.
