Recompiling and uninstalling existing applications
Hi everyone,
I'm new-ish to Unix outside of being a basic user in the past. So some background on my experience level when asking this question.
My current laptop, running OS X 10.5, had Apache and PHP installed when I bought it. However I need to recompile these now to add features which weren't included 'out of the box'.
Questions:
- Do I need to do anything to 'uninstall' these existing versions of the software before the recompile?
- Do I need to delete the binaries/libraries/other directories/etc of a program I am going to be recompiling (if this isn't answered by the above question) or will this automatically be taken care of?
- How can I make sure I don't leave anything 'hanging around' when I do uninstall a program? Or recompile?
- What resources can I read to learn more about all of this and related?
Thanks!
Charles

Hello,
There is a need to link a new dynamic library to a big number of exes.
Unfortunately, I cannot recompile/link all these exes against the new library.
Is there any way to link an existing executable with the new library?

apache::session::lock::sybase
Apache::Session::Lock::Sybase(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Apache::Session::Lock::Sybase(3pm)
NAME
Apache::Session::Lock::Sybase - Provides mutual exclusion using Sybase
SYNOPSIS
use Apache::Session::Lock::Sybase;
my $locker = new Apache::Session::Lock::Sybase;
$locker->acquire_read_lock($ref);
$locker->acquire_write_lock($ref);
$locker->release_read_lock($ref);
$locker->release_write_lock($ref);
$locker->release_all_locks($ref);
DESCRIPTION
Apache::Session::Lock::Sybase fulfills the locking interface of Apache::Session. Mutual exclusion is achieved through the use of Sybase's
sp_getapplock and sp_releaseapplock functions. Sybase does not support the notion of read and write locks, so this module only supports
exclusive locks. When you request a shared read lock, it is instead promoted to an exclusive write lock.
CONFIGURATION
The module must know how to connect to your MySQL database to acquire locks. You must provide a datasource name, a user name, and a
password. These options are passed in the usual Apache::Session style, and are very similar to the options for
Apache::Session::Store::Sybase. Example:
tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::Sybase', $id, {
LockDataSource => 'dbi:sybase:database',
LockUserName => 'database_user',
LockPassword => 'K00l'
};
Instead, you may pass in an already opened DBI handle to your database.
tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::Sybase', $id, {
LockHandle => $dbh
};
