Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Install / Uninstall

Checkinstall is a separate program, that makes uninstalling programs
compiled from source much easier. Take a look:
http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/index.php

Basically you do:
./configure
make
checkinstall

And if you want to uninstall it you can use the normal packet manager.
