You can't track software installed with 'make install', because this kind of installation doesn't make records in pkg_* tools internal databases. The only correct way of installing from source is making 'ports' for software you need, if there isn't one yet, and installing that port. Try it, it isn't very difficult. Best luck. -- The best the little guy can do is what the little guy does right
