Say, I can compile the program out of *.tar.gz, but when I would remove
it - it would be hard to say what to remove as it will be out data
base. So, is there an easy way to make an rpm out of the tar.gz?! -
Look into checkinstall:

Doesn't work on everything, but does a reasonable job and makes
uninstalling things _much_ easier than make install does.
