The install tarballs are not packages.

To install:
# cd / && tar zxvfp comp28.tgz

To uninstall:
tar ztvf comp28.tgz
And manually remove each file.

or

tar ztvf comp28.tgz | rm xargs

I would not suggest trying to remove and installed tarball.

You can also build on another system and copy the files over.
