Uninstalling Tar balls ?

[Yugal]

I installed tar balls .......


So... If I loose the folder :
./configure
make
make install

then in this case (Folder Deleted) how to remove the software cleanly?

Will I have no way except reinstall to get that clean state back ???

Why so many dots (.....)? End a sentence with a full-stop. Are you from IIT?

Please refer (Slides #5, #6):

Do you remember if you passed any options to configure script?
Otherwise, you can simply extract the same sources tarball, and do:

$ ./configure; sudo make uninstall

This 'uninstall' target will know where to remove the installed files.
