uninstall/re-install iptables

uninstall/re-install iptables

[Mihamina Rakotomandimby]

Hi every body ,
i'm running slack 9 with a 2.4.21 kernel 
I got iptables 1.2.8 from netfilter website .
I first removed the slack package (1.2.7a) with the appropriate tool ,
and then a I made :
- untar the sources of iptables
- cd into the source directory
- make KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linux
- su 
- make install KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linux 

The problem is that it installed the iptables files into /usr/local .
I dont like it to be this way .

- There is not rules to "make uninstall" .Will it be enough to remove all the 
copied files during the install process ?
- what option have i got to specify to have it installed at /usr ( rather than 
the default /usr/local )?

Thanks in advance for your help .

It's actually in the INSTALL file.

% make BINDIR=/usr/bin LIBDIR=/usr/lib MANDIR=/usr/man
% make BINDIR=/usr/bin LIBDIR=/usr/lib MANDIR=/usr/man install
