Well in general on Linux, it isn't anything fancy like on Windows with  
a registry, it is just files on the disk.  The main files are header  
files in some include directory and library files in the lib  
directory.  Any binaries would be in the bin directory  There can also  
be man pages and other shared files.  Unfortunately is make uninstall  
doesn't work then there really isn't any systematic way to remove a  
program ... thus one of the reason that package managers where  
created, as the package has a complete list of files and thus can  
remove them.
