How far did you get installing. When you compile from source these are the steps you do
1)./configure
2)make
3)make install
the last step is not completely nessary, the second step compiles the program and you can run it going ./[program_name]. The third step copies the compiled binaries into a directory defined in the configure file (usually /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin).
If you only got to the second step, you only need to delete the directory that the program is stored in. Else do the
make uninstall. Reading the README or INSTALLATION normally tells you where and how it installs, or you can look in the configure file to see that information.
In future, I recommend using checkinstall (install it using your package manager). To use it, do the first two steps, but instead of doing
make install you type
checkinstall (in the program directory you just compiled the program). CheckInstall will create an RPM or deb and install it for you, then you can uninstall it using your package manager which is much cleaner.
