Useful thread and information about UNINSTALLING programs.
Hi:
I find the sticky post about how to install programs from source code helpful, but I think you missed the uninstalling guide and it as important as the installing one. I have successfully installed almost everything i want but sometimes i want to get rid of things that has become "wasted space" and I will appreciate that you tell me what do you do when you uninstall something. Sometimes doing a 'make uninstall' its enough, but other times i deleted the dir where i compiled so its impossible to use that method. Im waiting your uninstalling method :) |
Debian method:
apt-get remove packagename Some source programs allow (by going into the source directory) make remove or make uninstall |
I believe to unisntall RPMs its rpm -e "package name" I might be wrong, ive never tried to tell the truth.
