There's not an uninstall *file*, it's an option in the make file. If
you have the source tree, try cd-ing to it, su to root, and type "make
uninstall." If you only have the tarball, rebuilt it and then instead
of installing it, do the "make uninstall." If that doesn't work, it's
time to pick the files out by hand, but do try that first. I've even
installed newer versions and then did a "make uninstall" when I couldn't
get the original tarball (smaller programs only).
