Where did you put it?  Don't install custom material to system
locations.  Always build with --prefix=/usr/local/package-1.2.3 (or
/opt, or other location as you deem appropriate).  Then "uninstalling"
is usually just a matter of deleting one directory, and you can easily 
run or test multiple versions of anything you like.

In the case of licq, you can probably just ignore whatever you've 
done, and rebuild as above.  Then just put the new one in your PATH 
ahead of system locations.

/usr belongs to the distributor of your OS; don't mess with it, in 
most cases.  You'll thank yourself, and won't ever have to utter the 
term "uninstall" again.  It's an ugly, profane word, and implies a 
confused entanglement of dependencies that only Windows users should 
have to worry about.  ;-)
