My suggestion is:
1 packetize it if you can (it depends of which is your env: I mean, 4
example if you use linux rpm compatible with the command rpmbuild -ta
httpd-x.y.z.tar.gz you should build all the packages apache related. I don't
know the deb package syntax. If you don't use linux it depends of you
operating system)
2 Install and uninstall the package using the os utilities.
If you did it using the classical ./configure; make; make install, yuo
should take a look in the file
config.layout in the root of the archive.
...
##
## config.layout -- Pre-defined Installation Path Layouts
##
## Hints:
## - layouts can be loaded with configure's --enable-layout=ID option
## - when no --enable-layout option is given, the default layout is
`Apache'
## - a trailing plus character (`+') on paths is replaced with a
## `/<target>' suffix where <target> is currently hardcoded to 'apache2'.
## (This may become a configurable parameter at some point.)
##
# Classical Apache path layout.
<Layout Apache>
prefix: /usr/local/apache2
exec_prefix: ${prefix}
bindir: ${exec_prefix}/bin
sbindir: ${exec_prefix}/bin
libdir: ${exec_prefix}/lib
libexecdir: ${exec_prefix}/modules
mandir: ${prefix}/man
sysconfdir: ${prefix}/conf
datadir: ${prefix}
installbuilddir: ${datadir}/build
errordir: ${datadir}/error
iconsdir: ${datadir}/icons
htdocsdir: ${datadir}/htdocs
manualdir: ${datadir}/manual
cgidir: ${datadir}/cgi-bin
includedir: ${prefix}/include
localstatedir: ${prefix}
runtimedir: ${localstatedir}/logs
logfiledir: ${localstatedir}/logs
proxycachedir: ${localstatedir}/proxy
</Layout>
...
For example the manuals are into the dir /usr/local/apache2/manual and so
on.
Please pay attention to the file LAYOUT too;
Remove the necessary files according to the config.layout
finally, the make install should add the user apache (verify your
/etc/passwd file) and the init script (usually in /etc/init.d); remove them
if present
I hope this will be enough for your issue

ps: excuse me 4 my bad english
