Checkinstall provides an easy way to make an RPM from sources, which is nice if you want to use standard RPM utilities to install/upgrade/remove/query, and also to make your RPM database aware of the new libs you've installed.

It does Debian and Slackware packages too.

Thanks for the info, it's always good to have more options...
