Usually the service binaries are installed in /usr/local/bin or sometimes in paths like /usr/local/apache. Same goes for configuration files see also hier(7). So stopping the service and removing the source tree wont remove these. Some makefiles comes with an uninstall target, so you might try ``make uninstall''. Otherwise you can do a rebuild and reinstall from the sources again and look for recently changed files with something like ``find / -newerct "10 minutes ago"''. This probably have some shortcomings, but if you are careful it might do the job. -- Martin P. Hansen
