how to uninstall subversion?

I recently compiled subversion 1.4.2 from source and installed it using make 
install. But there does not seem to be any uninstall target. How do I 
uninstall subversion in a clean fashion?

thanks
raju

In this case, I do not have root access to the machine (Redhat 7.3). So 
compiling subversion for myself is the only option IMHO.

If you use a platform with a packaging system, the packaging system should 
take care of this for you. For example, on RPM-based systems build the 
source RPM and install the resulting binary RPM, and you can then track 
which files are owned by the package.

Thanks for your reply. Forwarding it to the list so that the info is archived 
and will be helpful for others.
