	Probably, if, after compiling and <make install>, one uses
 the progrom <checkinstall> instead if make install,
 the checkinstall is capable of making an RPM which will then show up
as "installed" when giving the instruction at the command prompt :-

			rpm -qa

 If you want a text file listing all installed programs, then :-

			rpm -qa > installed.txt

should produce what you want.

 My own experience [ once] failed, as 'checkinstall' needs path to
'source' and I could not find out what will satisfy this requirement  :)
