how to uninstall application in linux
I download src code, compile, and install it
Code:
$ make The problem is specifically for yum-2.4, and yum-2.6 where the "Makefile" has following content Code:
all: subdirs can any exppert around here help me uninstall it? |
The last step of installation (make install) is simply a process to copy files somewhere and set their attributes. In most cases the uninstall process is simply going back through the list of operations performed by install. If you have not issued a "make clean", you can run "make install" again and store the resulting messages
Code:
make install > install.log 2>&1 |

Have a look at checkinstall; it's build for exactly this, to "wrap" around the "make install" bit of the "configure && make && make install". It takes the place of the make install, and produces an RPM, a DEB or a Slackware TGZ package for you, which you then can easily install, reinstall or uninstall. Even if you already ran "make install", re- doing it with checkinstall should let you get rid of all the files even if the Makefile doesn't have an un-install option. Cheers, Tink |
