Removing/Uninstalling Programs

streetbmx · 05-06-2003, 08:00 PM

What is the best way to remove a program that was built from source?

ie. I did

Code:

./configure && make && make install

etc, etc.

Now how would I remove that package?

Distro: Slackware 9.0

For instant relief search LQ for checkinstall (one word!)
in the last two weeks ... :)

Cheers,

Go into the directory where you typed all those commands, and type "make uninstall".
