If you installed programs by compiling and installing them yourself - like using: configure - make - make install
then those are not managed by your package-management system and you need to keep track of what is installed to where yourself.
If you still have the makefile, you can look through it to see where all the parts of the program got copied to.

No.
Installing from source, compiling it and installing it - and then keep track of what has gone where - that was was I was talking about - because that was your question...was it not?
rpm is short for "Redhat Package Manager" and is a way to install previously compiled software to your system.
Redhat "invented" this format and it is the easiest way to install software to a redhat system (or a compatible one like fedora and many others), while keeping track of what is installed to which location.
More questions?
Read this first (second and third hit in google - search term: rpm):
