If you run the installer and it doesn't have a "uninstall" option, and if it didn't install a program that has in its name "uninstall" or something similar, then you'll just have to track down what it installed and delete it by hand.

advise: next time you install anything yourself, install them to their own separate directories, or at least in /usr/local. And always use your distributions package manager if you can, since it can uninstall anything it installed.

Is there a tool to deinstall a progamm os such nature? (I'm not refering to rpm)

No idea what you mean by "programm os such nature", never heard of a program called 'nature', or a OS, or a program OS.
