yum is a frontend for the rpm database/packages. If you do a
./configure, make, make install then you install something without
having a rpm package. Most of the software have an uninstall
section in the makefile, so if you change into your source
directory do a make uninstall.

Thanks mate, that solves half of my problems... but what about updating it?
same procedure. I would always prefer a rpm package, even if isn't from
an "official" repository, but from an "trusted" source.
