How to uninstall a package installed from a .bin file?


Hi,

I installed ejabberd on my Ubuntu 11.10 installation by running a .bin file, and now I'm trying to uninstall it. Does anyone know how? I tried apt-get remove ejabberd but it says that it's unable to locate the package, probably because I didn't install it via apt-get.

Thanks.

Try 'file <bin_file>' to determine what it actually is, then maybe '<bin_file> --help'
