If you installed it from tarball (.tar.gz), you should type "make clean" to clear the
package from installed directory, or "make distclean" to delete everything except the
source (all .o files, executables, ...). Afterwards you can make them again by "make"
and install them by "make install".
If you installed the package from rpm (eg. rpm -Uvh rpm-name.rpm), you may query it
for its name with "rpm -q rpm_name" (eg. rpm -q gtk+) and delete it with "rpm -e
rpm_name (eg. rpm -e gtk+). That does the trick thoroughly. ;)

Use /sbin/ldconfig.
