ouch - why are you doing such rough installs instead taking some time
to learn how to build packages for your OS?

the benefit of package-systems like rpm/deb is that obsolete files
are removed on updates and you have clean installs over many years
and major upgrades of any software

as example for Fedora&RHEL it is quite easy to setup rpmbuild, install a
recent src.rpm and replace rebuild new versions for older releases

the additional benefit is that you can do this on  a dedicated virtual
machine with devel-packages, GCC and so on which is all not needed on
the production systems AND you can easily use this packages on
testing machines followed by a crontrolled rollout

even for software with a handful of scripts -> on my servers and
workstations NEVER get any software installed without a package
and there are only two exceptions: VMware Workstation and ZendStudio
