Uninstall an Application with Command Line
Hello everyone, I am new to UNIX and computers in general. However I recently started using the command line, and I have to say that it's a blast. It's so much fun to learn all these things, and it's quite handy too.

I'm running Mac OS 10.5.8 and I want to uninstall an application that I downloaded from the internet, compiled from source, and installed. I don't know how, and no one on other forums seems to know. This seems like it would be straight forward, but I don't think it is.

Thank You!
