You can use checkinstall (http://www.asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/) to create an RPM package from almost any source tar ball. Basically, if you already have checkinstall on your system, instead of issuing the "make install" command (after doing ./configure && make) issue the "checkinstall" command to create the RPM. For the program where you already did the "make install", just issue the "checkinstall" command on the sorce tree to create an RPM. Of course, now that the program is installed as RPM, you can use rpm/yum/apt-get to uninstall the package. -- Gideon N.
