how to uninstall source tarball packages ?
Hello,
I have installed few packages from now on. Generally there is no uninstall section in the documentation of the package. Is it because, installing a package involves knowing where all files are installed ? Or is there a sual way to uninstall packages ? Thanks, Xround |
try: make uninstall
if this don't work then you have to uninstalled each file manually I think |
Quote:
Enter the source directory of your package and then type Code:
# make uninstall Code:
/home/sybex/downloads/gaim-... Code:
rm -rf [files/directory of the present program] make , (creates programfiles.) make install , (installs the package/program) in the standardplace, or where ever you have out the PREFIX make uninstall (removes the installed files and directorys that the make install created) make distclean (makes the program distclean, have to run make if you will install it again! :) ) and some more options... :) |
