If i type ´make install´ to install a application is there a way to
uninstall that program?

make uninstall
Trouble is authors do not always define make uninstall, and even if they do
you have to keep the directory you used to compile the application for when
you might want to uninstall.
My preferred solution is to use 'checkinstall' to convert the compiled code
into an RPM which can easily be uninstalled at a future date.
Checkinstall is on the CDs (or is it in contrib)
