uninstall software ( those not installed by yum/rpm)
Hi
I have installed some software (eg xawtv) which was in tar.gz pkg, the pkg installed nicely and works properly. However now I need to uninstall it. yum & rpm do not show the pkg as installed. Do I just delete the directory? If so, will some files still remain in other directories (eg some configuration files)? Thanks |
If you used "make install", then do "make uninstall" from the directory where you built the program.

What package (and its version) are you trying to remove?

uninstall software ( those not installed by yum/rpm)
Hi
I am trying to remove xawtv, when I do xawtv - version I get "This is xawtv 4.0-pre, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.17-1.2174_FC5)" I downloaded it from http://dl.bytesex.org/cvs-snapshots/...-145508.tar.gz I installed it as follows tar xzfs xawtv-20060815-145508.tar.gz cd xawtv ./autogen.sh ./configure make make install |
Unfortunately xawtv does not seem to have an uninstall script. You will have to manually remove the package from /usr/local if thats where its located.
