installing from tar.gz

[vhg119]

is it possible to do some sort of "make uninstall" if i install from a tar.gz package? Or will i have to delete every single file one by one?

Yes, just cd into the directory made by the tar.gz and do:

# make uninstall

That should do it.

If you've removed the directory or the tar.gz, redownload it, unpack it, cd into the dir and do make uninstall.

Hope this helps.
