Uninstalling manually installed programs using ./configure isn't as easy as uninstalling programs you've installed with aptitude, apt-get or Synaptic.
Read the documentation that came with package and see if it says anything about uninstalling.
If you know where the program was installed, you'll have to manually delete the installed files or the directory where your program is.It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

As previous posts, I'd use make uninstall to remove packages.
I use a GUI file manager to remove directories - you can see what you are deleting and I normally move things to trash which gives me a second chance.
