Thanks all for the quick reply. As a note, I tried to list as much names as possible, since we're in a profession where when things work and run smoothly nobody gives a damn (or know who you are) and when things break, everyone knows who to call. ok, I think everyone heard the line above before ;) so it's nice to be recognize when things don't break... Michael Sullivan, Steve Mickeler, Thien Vu, JESSE TRUCKS, Gaziz Nugmanov, Larry Snyder, Fabrice Guerini, Dave S., and Jay Lessert. Most recommends looking at the Makefile and/or try the below...and agrees that it's NOT TOO PRETTY when attempting to uninstall software, manual uninstall/removing files. make uninstall (see if it's available) make clean (see if it's available) make distclean (see if it's available) make -n install (and do the opposite) Steve Mickeler (cool idea!!!, let the script do the work) -------------- Another option is to edit the install script and change instances of cp or mv to rm and then run 'make install' and have it remove the files. Jesse Trucks (good practice) ------------ recommended building packages and the article below is from him. http://www.unixcentauri.net/article.php3?story_id=30 I probably doing the removing by hand manually for now... - Mike On Tue, 16 Apr 2002, Mike's List wrote: > How do you uninstall software?
