Or a more long winded way is,  re-install the existing version  over the 
top but this time run "checkinstall" (most dists have this)  instead of 
"make install". Checkinstall keeps track of the "make install" and can 
automatically build a deb or rpm for you. then you can simply uninstall 
by  using rpm -e whateveryoucalledit  (or the deb equiv).
