You can only uninstall a from-source installed application if you haven't deleted the source.

Enter the source directory and type:
make uninstall

If you still have the source directory you could try

Code:

make uninstall
in the directory.

If you haven't and the source supports it you can download it again, configure it exactly as it is on your computer and then do the above.

If there's no make uninstall I think you've got to delete them manually. Unless you have a specific program that makes lists of source installs so you can uninstall (don't know what it's called)

hi again,
if you installed something from source, and now want to uninstall it,
go to the source directory(the one you exctracted) and do:
make uninstall

do you still have the compressed package?
if you do, try to uninstall it with it first.
