Installing mp3blaster is almost as easy as using apt-get:

wget http://www.stack.nl/~brama/mp3blaste...r-3.2.0.tar.gz
tar xzvf mp3blaster-3.2.0.tar.gz
cd mp3blaster-3.2.0
./configure
make
su -c checkinstall

Note that I used checkinstall instead of "make install". This creates and
installs a slackware package, making it easier to uninstall later. The
checkinstall package is found in extra/ and is not installed by default.

Thanks for telling me, I was already wondering how you keep your system
clean when doing so many manual installs.

I'm a little slow on the draw here, but GAMP is worth checking out as well.

I don't use checkinstall or any of the other. When I want to remove a
program I use make uninstall. It has never damaged a system.

It won't damage a system unless it's a very poorly-written Makefile, but
a fair number of Makefiles do not include an uninstall target. In those
cases make uninstall does nothing, and you're still stuck with the files
on the box. The only resort (if you haven't made a package) is to look
at the Makefile, figure out what it installed, and remove them manually
(or write a program to parse the install target of the Makefile).

I don't use checkinstall either, but there have been a small number of
times where I needed to do the above, and I can see the utility in
creating a package, either with Slackware's built-in tools or with
something like checkinstall.
