Unless there is a 'make uninstall' option in the Makefile, you will have to run it down, file by file and nuke it yourself. About the only way I know of is to do another make install with your terminal set for enough history to save it all, and then scroll back up the history and rm -f anything it installed. Even that may not be bulletproof if it overwrote some file needed by something else. This is where the utility 'checkinstall' is worth its weight in bottled beer or sliced bread, experienced folks can use it to make an rpm that can then be installed with the usual rpm command, or uninstalled with the usual rpm -e command. But it currently has a bit of a bug and requires you edit out of its include list, a rather large group of system files it wants to include. A fix for that is expected in about a week. In the meantime, run it with this syntax: "checkinstall -R --inspect" which will give you a chance to clean up its act. Humm, that in fact, IF you do the --inspect editing (that's vi when you're doing that) correctly, you may be able to generate an rpm, install it, and then remove it. But that's not a particularly well tested at my place function either, so I just toss it out as an idea to be explored. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
