One thing you could try is making a directory (e.g., somewhere in /tmp)
and setting it as your install prefix.  Then install there and see what
files get created; delete anything in the corresponding /path/to/dir you
accidentally installed.

You'd need to be careful, though - some files will have been
overwritten, rather than created.  At the very least you will need to
reinstall your system kerberos packages (if using a package manager).
