Uninstall?

Post by caro23 »

Hi!

I'm a linux beginner, so i have to ask a stupid question:

I've successfully installed wine using source packages. Now that there are new binary packages for my distro, i want to uninstall wine and reinstall a new version from the repository.
So, how can i uninstall?

Thanks in advance,
Caroline

From the source directory:
$ sudo make uninstall

Hi!
Download the same source release, repeat exactly the steps you did when you
were installing it, but at the end, instead of make install, do make uninstall
:-). It should work.
