How to unistall "make install" ?
 
I've installed from building source files with "make" command
and then "make install" but it not has "make uninstall"
How to solve this? I read through the readme file
but not any explaination about this.

the best/safest bet would be to look at the install target in the makefile, then manually undo all those changes.

if it's an autogenerated file: good luck (and sorry).

Get the checkinstall pkg from the "extras" section on any of the ftp servers, that have Slackware. Install it, build a slackpackage with it (go the the src-directory and type checkinstall).
Then you could uninstall the just over the already installed files installed package with removepkg.

Cheers,

P.S.: I thought you posted this in a different forum (Slackware). The above should work if you have installed the program on Slackware. About other distros I don't know.
