Hehe, compiling is usually ./configure make make install. Unless its a horrid package :). I would love to see this as a configure switch "/configure --make-rpm" and --make-deb :). Would be nice to then have a spec file with which to build an RPM.
As an alternative, instead of make install, install checkinstall (from the CD), configure /etc/checkinstall to match your system, and type checkinstall instead of make install. This will make AND install an rpm, and your package will be removeable by rpm -e <package name>.
