You can find at http://freshmeat.net a software called "checkinstall". Once you have it installed, you have to call it *before* installing any tarball! It has a routine to "uninstall" any prog "supervised" ! I had used it in the past and it was very handy and functional! Nowadays, I prefer having a specific directory to install all my tarball, so it becomes very easy to uninstall them. Besides most tar.gz have a "uninstall" feature!
