Most of you probably know how difficult it can be to remove a program compiled and installed from source. In very few instances, a program's author adds an uninstall rule to their Makefile, but that's not usually the case. This is where CheckInstall comes into play. After you "./configure"; "make" your program, CheckInstall will run "make install" and keep track of every file modified by this installation and create an RPM.
