Is it possible to add compile options to an already-installed program?
If I have installed a program from source (.tar.gz) using ./compile, make, make install - and then later on, want to add a build option (not sure the proper terminology - compile option?), is this possible?
Do I have to uninstall the program first (like "make uninstall" or something) or, assuming I am using the same source files, can I just run the same ./configure --with-option, make, make install again?
In case it matters, I'll say what I am trying to do. I would like to add an option to a working installation of Squid that wasn't added by default.

When following the original instructions and adding an additional build option, and recompiling again, the existing version of any program (including squid) will be replaced by the new version.
Therefore, in case you do something stupid disastrous, make a copy of the existing working program before proceeding. ;-)
