 |
|
| hi. i am wondering how to unistall packages that i manually install by compilng (make then make install). for example, i installed the "baghira' theme for kde. but a new version has been released and i want to install it. thus, how do i uninstall the old version. will running "make clean" from the old source folder accomplish this? or is there another way to do it. thanks. |

Generally, make clean will wipe out any configuration/compilation that you have done inside the project's folder. In order to uninstall, you should probably try targets such as make uninstall or make deinstall. Have a look at the Makefile. If it doesn't have such targets, you'll probably have to do it manually...
