You can use checkinstall to uninstall/remove files which are created during installation(You need to install this package,Check http://freshmeat.net) or you can write your script to remove these files.

i am not sure if this is the only method but it certainly works works for programs installed from tarred files..
1. Go into the directory where u downloaded or untarred the program
2. type $ make clean
3 next type $ make distclean
4 lastly go to the parent directory of the program and type $ rm -rf <directory name>
do the last step only if u want to remove the entire program from ur computer. of course u might still have the .tar.gz file on ur computer.
