Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Uninstalling packages (.tar.gz) Post 77649 by cbkihong on Monday 11th of July 2005 08:40:08 PM

Most Makefiles contain the target `uninstall` that lets you uninstall a package. However, once you have trashed the build directories, the local configurations made inside will naturally be lost and thus the uninstall will not work. So, if you have a potential need for uninstall, use a package management system or you may need to save the build directory for use later.

Your mileage may vary.
