You don't.
You do :-)
The rpm database is only for storing information on thebinary rpm packages installed on your system. It has no support for software installed directly from source.
http://freshmeat.net/projects/checkinstall/
"CheckInstall keeps track of all files installed by a "make install" or
equivalent, creates a Slackware, RPM, or Debian package with those
files, and adds it to the installed packages database, allowing for easy
package removal or distribution."
Ed, you're always full of useless^H^H^H^Hful information, aren't you? :)
Thanks for the tip.
