Dave, Like you I am quite new to tar balls. I had help from a sane developer and I asked the same question,the answer is that you cannot, at least there is no automatic way to remove tar ball installs. That's why they recommend creating RPM's of your compile, or so I am told. However noone say's how to do that.
All you can do is put up a find file and type * name* and search for all the binaries and libraries etc and cherry pick deleting them and hope you remove enough to enable a fresh recompile, make, make install. I also suspect that your argument will not be accepted even when you have done this, as usually, but not always, you can simply re-run the ./compile, make, make install and it simply overwriites the previous install.I think you have to investigate why your argument is not accepted, and that can be more problematical.
