Yep. I'm pretty much doing the same thing. Only I wanted to use checkinstall to update the RPM database, so I can remove qt3 by doing an rpm -e. And checkinstall runs a 'make install' my defailt. Hmmm, I can tell checkinstall to do something else, right? I can just execute 'checkinstall make'. Wouldn't that work? But, now that I think about it. What's so terribly dificult about rm'ing the directory if I want to "unistall" it? I might just forego the checkinstall step altogether...
