i want to know, how to manage and uninstall programs which are
installed from sources......  

I usually put all the packages that I build from sources in the
/opt directory. i.e. I compile with --prefix=/opt/<prgname>. If I
want to remove a program I simply delete the subfolder from /opt/.
I'm not sure whether this is a good aproach. However, I think.,
with little effort you can construct the debs/rpms from the
sources.
