Hello everyone

Last week I downloaded a a program in a .tar.gz formart, and everthing works fine however this program is not really what i wanted so I decided to unstall it.
I did some reseach and i found that the way to uninstall a tar.gz is to cd to the dircectory where the program is and as root type "make unistall". However I can still execute the program, and all the files are still there.

Can someone tell me what im doing wrong?

Im running redhat 9

Thanks

What happened when you typed "make uninstall"?
(I assume "make unistall" is a typo)

From there, we might be able to help.

I assuming that it started deleting files

Here is part of the output after i typed "make uninstall"

Hrmmmm.... so it deleted a bunch of stuff. a-yup...

did it give any errors? What were the last couple of lines?

Are the files is said it deleted still there?

--Rounan

no It didn't

I guess im gonna have to delete each file manually

it looks like k3b is installed in another prefix. You could try "which k3b" to find it then add it to configure before doing "make uninstall"
