I think that if you go to the directory where you compiled the source and did "make install" and instead type "make uninstall", you'll remove the files and set your system back to pre-wine status.

Although if you just want to try another version, you can untar the tarball, and then do

./configure --prefix=/path/to/temp/wine/new/version/directory
make
make install

That way you won't have to remove your old setup.

Yep - i'm pretty sure wine comes with an uninstall target. For future reference I would use checkinstall. It will make an rpm for you at compile time. then its easy to uninstall. works for debian and slackware too
