Eugene,

'make check' before 'make install' will perform some
symbol checks, but I have already run against that
kernel in CentOS4 and WBEL4 clones of RHEL4.

'sudo make uninstall.log' uninstalls and tees output to
uninstall.log.  The install and uninstall processes are
autoconf based and are clean and good at reversing the
installation process.

One warning: be careful about installing on a machine
that has any release of LiS installed (because LiS will
be largely removed during the installation process due to
conflicts).

So you can do (assuming you have sudo, su to root otherwise):

  wget http://www.openss7.org/tarballs/streams-0.7a.4.tar.bz2
  tar -xjvf streams-0.7a.4.tar.bz2
  mkdir build
  cd build
  ../streams-0.7a.4/configure
  make compile.log
  make check.log            # <-- pre-installation checks
  sudo make install.log     # <-- installs everything
  sudo make installcheck    # <-- post-installation test suite
  sudo make retest          # <-- if you have some sporadic test case failure
  sudo make uninstall.log   # <-- removes it all
  cd ..
  rm -fr build              # <-- remove build directory
  rm -fr streams-0.7a.4     # <-- remove source directory
  rm streams-0.7a.4.tar.bz2 # <-- remove tarball

That should take you from scratch to scratch as though it was
never installed on the system.

If you want closer control, you can build rpms from the srpm as
described in the manual and then use rpm -ivvv and rpm -evvv to
ensure that the system is returned to its previous state.  But
it is harder to run the standalone testsuites (installed in
/usr/libexec/streams).
