I find doing a `make -n install 2>&1 > fake-install.log' prior to installing from source to be useful in determining which files get installed to which paths (this isn't foolproof, especially if you're in the business of installing Perl modules, but nice to know nonetheless.) > A piece of advice, next time just use the yum utility in installing > apps so you can easily manage them. :) Well, in the unlikely case of installing unpackaged apps from source, you may find it useful to use GNU stow[0] to manage these. Sure, that doesn't beat a proper package management system, but it does give some organization to the otherwise chaotic mess of build-from-source installs.
