For now, I think it is unfortunate but unavoidable that you have to make
distclean occasionally.
The proper solution is to develop a system where installed files are
tracked. This is desireable for a number of reasons. The first task is
to split the compile / install phases of third party packages...
Typically, they are tracked in gentoo by installing to a separate
"DESTDIR". Most decent makefiles, and even python setup files support
DESTDIR. Once they are in DESTDIR, the installed files (with proper
prefix or relative directory structure) can be recorded to a file, say
matplotlib-installed.txt. Then they are shifted to the main install
directory.
Uninstallation then is a simple process of
cat matplotlib-installed.txt | xargs rm
- basu.
