Removing apps compiled from gz.tar files in Debian eg kismet


I am trying to remove kismet that I have compiled and installed from a tar file under Debian v3. There has been some conflict between it and a previous Debian version - and so I am trying to remove both and start again.

The problem is - installing is one thing - how can I uninstall a compiled program from a tar file.

Or if I have to do it manually - anyknow know what I have to remove?

In the directoy where you unpacked your source, as root, do:

"make uninstall"

That works 2/3 of the time. If it doesnt, you're out of luck.

I suggest getting a program called "Checkinstall". You run "checkinstall" instead of the "make install" command when compiling, and it installs the program as a package, so its removable like any DEB package in your case.

Nah - dont work

What about disabling the starting of the program - which in this case its is commands from bash: kismet & kismet_monitor -H
