Hello Hari Om,
the last step has to be "checkinstall -R make install".
Checkinstall gets the "make install" command as a paramter. Moreover you 
pass the parameter "-R" to say, that you want to build an rpm (you could 
also build a .deb package).

After this last command the softare _is_ installed (since the command 
make install is also executed by "checkinstall") AND you built an 
rpm-packages. I.e. you could redo the make install by tying
rpm -e apache

The rpm-packages is installed and also stored under 
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386
