if it's a standard GNU (ie autoconf/automake etc...) package, you should be
able to do
./configure --prefix=(same as what you installed it as, probably /usr/local)
make uninstall
from the source directory.
If it has a spec, you can do
rpm -ta tarball
to make an RPM. rpm will do the compiling for you.
make dist
will make the tarball (if you've pulled the source from cvs f.e.)
