You may want to look into the checkinstall program. It's included in

looking for:

Description: installation tracker
CheckInstall keeps track of all the files created or
modified by your installation script ("make install"
"make install_modules", "setup", etc), builds a
standard binary package and installs it in your
system giving you the ability to uninstall it with your
distribution's standard package management utilities.
Homepage: http://checkinstall.izto.org
Tag: admin::package-management, devel::buildtools, implemented-in::c,
implemented-in::shell, interface::commandline, role::program,
scope::utility, use::monitor, works-with::software:package
cbell@circe:~$
Good luck!
