  • Completely uninstall/remove package compiled from source?
    There is also checkinstall which you run instead of make install. It creates a (simple) RPM package for you. You can remove that package with your package manager later on for easy uninstallation. Source: almost 3 years ago
  • How do you manage packages installed form tar files?
    Checkinstall is a rather popular way of dealing with self compiled packages. Source: about 3 years ago
