Make install just copies the files in. You could do a make install again, make a list of the files it installed, and then remove them. That's what packages are for. Gentoo is nice because it does a make install but keeps track of which files are installed. It's the closest thing to a normal source install that you'll see in any package manager. In any case, it's best to install software from packages when possible so that problem doesn't come up later. -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868
