I will fill in the non-Debian one. For stuff you have compiled from
tarballs, you need to have the source tree still knocking around. 
Go to where you did './configure; make; sudo make install' (or
some variation thereof). Do 'make uninstall'.

And pray there was an uninstall target in the makefile :) 

If you installed (with 'make install') a load of libraries from 
tarballs too, I imagine you will need to do the same for each one.

If you only did 'make' and not 'make install', I presume the
results just went into a subdirectory which you can safely nuke,
but I am not sure!
