uninstalling w/ pkgtool...am I doing this right?
 

Runnin' Slackware 10.2...

Okay so I tried to install mplayer using pkgtool, and everything worked great...except mplayer when it was done. I got an illegal function error or something like it...

Now I would like to compile mplayer from source, so I used pkgtool to uninstall the mplayer and mplayer_codecs packages. The problem is when I "locate mplayer" i still get about fifteen mplayer files in various dirs. How do I know if these are necessary?

below is the output of "locate mplayer"...thanx in advance for any help!

look at the output of :

grep mplayer /var/log/packages/*

you'll see they come from other packages.
