[Paco|http://paco.sourceforge.net/index.html] is a source code package organizer for Unix/Linux systems to record an installation with "make install" and give this record a "package" name.\\
This enables you to uninstall this package later.

Alternatively you may use [checkinstall|http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/index.php] (not tested by myself).
