I hope you like it. It is a bit of a learning curve at first though, but that's
part of the fun.
Wine was installed with it, but i'm not sure what version, or what
directory it was installed to.
To be safe I thought it'd be best for me to uninstall wine completely,
and reinstall the latest version.
This isn't as necessary as it is in windows but is always a good idea as long as
you don't directories like .wine or .xine or .gnome etcetera in your
/home/username directory as they hold the personal settings which you will want
to keep
I went to what I think is the correct directory (/usr/lib/) and did
'make uninstall wine' and got the error message :
make: ***No rule to make target 'uninstall'. Stop.
Your second attempt is more along the right lines but this is important so I'll
put my 2 cents in. The make command works from the "Makefile" file which is a
script included in the *source code*. It should be used from the directory
you've extracted the source code like this:
./configure <-- checks your system against it's requirements
make <-- compiles the source into binary
along with:
make install <-- usually done as root
or:
make uninstall <-- deletes any installed files
or even
Make clean <-- removes any compiled files from the source directory
There's little else to installing from the source but do a search on the
internet as you will need to familiarize yourself with it.
So instead i tried 'rpm -e wine' in the same directory, and got the
following error message:
It doesn't matter what directory you run rpm/urpmi/etcetera from as the rpm app
all use a central database.
error: Failed dependencies:
libwine.so.1 is needed by (installed)
xmms-plugins-1.2.10-44.i586
Could anybody tell me how to fix this so i can uninstall wine.
I could give you the quick answer but this will be better for you.
Almost *every* program you ever install (from rpm or "make install" or whatever)
on linux will install a man(ual) page giving detailed information. These are
very useful to look at if you are getting an error or *think* you know which app
to use but not which options.
Try "man rpm" from any directory and you'll quickly get your answer.
Ok here's the quick answer as well.
libwine.so.1 is included in all the wine rpms and xmms is just a media player so
you can safely do:
rpm -e --force wine
Thanks.
