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.
Regards...

That is a common problem. Some Makefiles offer a target "uninstall". Try to run "make uninstall". If it does not work, you have to hunt those files manually :( Sorry.

Another thing to try is to reinstall the binaries from the source, then capture the output of make install. That will show you where all the files were put. Then delete them 1 by 1. There may also be a log of the installed files in the source directory.
