Hi all,
I installed ldap 2.07 from a tarball on my suSe 6.4 box and then realised that i already had the rpm version installed....
I know how to uninstall rpm packages..but how can i uninstall a software installed from source ? The binaries have been installed all over the system ...!
Regards
Anurag
From inside the source tree do a 'make uninstall'. If that returns something like "make: *** No rule to make target `uninstall'. Stop.", there is no automatic uninstallation procedure provided so you have to manually do it. In the latter case, I don't know any accurate way to uninstall, you have to track down every binary/data file installed on you system to get rid of them.
