Re: [TCLUG:4532] make install does what



There is a program called pack that is an overlay for the install program.
It logs all calls to install and allows you to view what files were
installed for a given package.  You can also remove, etc. the files.
There may be a better solution, but it has worked well for me so far when
I do 'make install's.  Just search for 'pack' on freshmeat.

Good luck
