I believe checkinstall is in the repos for most major distros. <BR/><BR/>Instead of:<BR/><BR/>./configure && make && make install<BR/><BR/>you do:<BR/><BR/>./configure && make && make checkinstall<BR/><BR/>Then, you have a package which you can install using your system's package manager. This makes housecleaning on systems much easier. But all in all, thanks for writing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
