To extend this issue. What if I have installed something from source files by doing:
./configure make and then as root make install.
usually installing scripts then install software on some default place (often /usr/local/bin) or somerhing similar.
Can these files be just deleted / shredded to uninstall program, or is there some other tasks to be completed also.
If you keep the source directory you installed it with, you can simply do a 'make uninstall'. That generally only works with projects created with the auto* tools, where you have a ./configure step. - -- James Oakley Engineering - SolutionInc Ltd. joakley@solutioninc.com http://www.solutioninc.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9/ep7+FOexA3koIgRAjieAJ4sheR8yzEZqoKSt5H0orM9GGTC3QCfSeG6 qIpCRSsvcpCGOiGNmQ9qRn8= =7AIf -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
