find out exactly where and what it installed, where its config files are
et al (painful, but possible) by probably looking at the Makefile and
the source in general.

Obviously that's a pain, in future I would suggest that you build your
own debs if you *really must* use software that isn't already deb'd,
there is an easy util to get you most of the way in that process and
that will mean that removing the software is *much* easier...look into
deb-make.

Thanks,

Brett
