uninstalling programs
 
hey i have a simple question , how do you uninstall programs you compiled from source?

usually, you need to run a ./configure then make then make install. Sometimes you can do a make test before a make install but it depends.

no not to install lol i wanna know how to uninstall

cd source directory
then:
make uninstall
if it complains about no rule to make target, i think that you are screwd, and you have to delete the files by hand.
