I tried this on Linuxmint 20 and it failed eventually because an earlier version of harbour is installed.

Is there an additional option to force replacement, or do I have to delete the earlier version first?

Thanks,

I ended up running:

```

root@L6:/home/jack# rm -r /usr/lib/harbour /usr/include/harbour /usr/share/doc/harbour /usr/share/harbour /usr/bin/harbour

```

and then running the build again.
