"how to REMOVE a binary "

rpm -e sane-backends

thank you Mr Bait
but that removes a .rpm
not a binary install

Binaries are installed with

/.configure
make
make install

rpm on the other hand are
rpm -Uvh ( ivh) ........etc

some one else has already answered the post
It is

cd to the directory whare the install was made

type
make uninstall


thank you tho


;)

Hmm, well just to correct --

./configure
make
make install

is to create a binary from source.

rpm -Uvh whatever

is to install a precompiled binary :)
so when you asked how to remove a binary, we thought you meant a precompiled binary.
