I see your point, because today. I want to uninstall the software I installed from the source code and I don't know how I do it. Will I just delete the folder it created one by one or there are any other means to do it. Unlike rpm or Yum. Other benifits that I see is that when upgrading. Any other points. Thank Paolo.
Compile it again but this time, instead of using "make install", use the utility called checkinstall (http://freshmeat.net/projects/checkinstall). This will generate an RPM, and thus will allow you to use the RPM command to uninstall your compiled application. -- Gideon N.
