sofasurfer Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 I installed a program (safecopy) from a tar.gz file. There apears to be no 'uninstall' file for the program. If I use 'locate safecopy' will this find ALL files belonging to that program? Or only files with the word safecopy attached? I mean, when you install software does every assocciated file have the name of the program attached to it?

tyme Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 to uninstall something you compiled from source, you would have to go into the directory were you extracted and compiled the source originally and do: make uninstall as root. if you no longer have the directory you originally compiled it in, just download the same version in source form, do the same ./configure line that you used original (i.e. ./configure --prefix=/usr) and then do the make uninstall command.
