uninstall superkaramba?


i am going nuts on figuring out how to uninstall this. i installed this by running the make and make install commands. i tried make uninstall and make clean but it didn't do anything, i am still able to run it. i am trying to clean up my system. there seems to be alot of questions on how to install but barely any to uninstall

thanks!

hi there,

if you installed from the source, there is no automatic way of uninstalling.
find the application and delete it, if you feel comfortable. or use "find" to locate connected files.
once that you made "make install" is done. you need to figure by yourself how to "uninstall" it.

make uninstall ( make sure you are root if it is not installed to your home directory) should uninstall it - IF there is an uninstall target in the Makefile. Some packages have it, some don't.

by the way, if you are doing this on slack, you should make packages of your builds. go to a slack mirror, and in the /extra directory download and install checkinstall. To use it, do your normal ./configure <options>, make, but instead of make install do checkinstall and it will create and install a slack package for you ( which can be upgraded/removed/reinstalled/etc.. with the slackware packages tools. )

good point, indeed.

but afaik this is not the case of superkaramba. i don't think there is the uninstall target in the original Makefile.
