I was just wondering is it possible to check number of softwares installed from source.
well, i dont know of any command that exists. but you can check your /usr/local/share directory. programs compiled from source are normally in that directory. if you want to install programs from source and also keep track of them with the rpm tool, then use 'checkinstall'. download and see the README file.
