That's why you should use RPMs. That's exactly why I do. The only way you can truly uninstall something is to do its "make install" and see what it copies and installs... With RPM, you can do rpm -qf (or -qpf) to determine what package a file belongs to...

I cannot uninstall them entirely. Many of them don't write an UNINSTALL or something else. And, differing from Win, unix applications like to cp their files everywhere, I have to cd every directory and shout "Hey, who belong to XXX app? I'll rm you with -f" Anyway to control the files and settings of those "make"ed apps? -- <yinming@xxxxxxxxxx> -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
