Thanks Glenn, that is what I was looking for, should've read the man
pages more carefully!

But as others have mentioned, checkinstall seems to be a more
appropriate procedure. I'll have to dig into the details of
checkinstall. The thing is that I use a lot of software on my office
machine (RHEL 5) where I do not have sudo access. So, I've to
"install" (ie compile from source OR unpack the rpm files) them in my
local directory. A properly automated checkinstall should be a huge
help.
Thanks to James, Nils, and Derek.
