I am running Slackware 12.2 on my webserver and I've configured and compiled PHP from source. I'd like to uninstall it, but there is no package. I've never tried to remove software without a package before. Do I just delete all the directories PHP is in?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI install wine with this as regular user:
Then to uninstall I do this as root:
Now if I try to install again it say this:
Code:
Warning ! wine binary (still) found, which may indicate a (conflicting) previous installation. You might want to abort and uninstall Wine first. (If you previously tried to install from source manually, run 'make uninstall' from the wine root directory)
We need to install Wine as the root user. Do you want us to build Wine, 'su root' and install Wine?
Enter 'no' to build Wine without installing:
Why it say conflicting previous installation? "make uninstall" not work?
My laptop has Slackware 12.2 and I installed gnuplot 4.2 patchlevel 5. But in this moment I need to install gnuplot 4.4. First I like to uninstall gnuplot 4.2, but I can't uninstall this programm.
I do slackpkg remove gnuplot and obtaining Looking for gnuplot in package list. Please wait... DONE
The file remove can't be removed - package not installed.
But Gnuplot 4.2 was installed at my laptop. I can do graphics and its version is @science:~$ gnuplot --version gnuplot 4.2 patchlevel 5
How to uninstall this version and to install gnuplot 4.4.
I compiled and install a binary source using "make" and "make install", but after I done that I think it's kind a messy not to build it in package. Therefore I tried to uninstall it and make a package out of it.
Questions:
1. How do I uninstall a compiled binary from "make install"? Some suggested to do it manually. How do I do it cleanly so that I won't miss any spot?
2. I understand that makepkg is used to build a package. I have the binary compressed in tar.gz format and have some difficulties to understand the man page for makepkg since I'm not familiar with "make". How do I build it using makepkg, what is the proper step?
I'm on Slackware 13 and use XFCE (no KDE or QT) as my DE and Exaile as my music player. I try and install all my software using slackbuilds. Recently I came to know that Exaile 0.3.1.0 was out and so decided to upgrade from my current 0.3.0.1 . So I downloaded the source package and the slackbuild, and after changing the version number in the Slackbuild script, went ahead with the installation. The install went fine but exaile wont start up as the new version required a newer version of gtk+.
Since, I was not ready to invest my time in that, I uninstalled the newer version through pkgtool. I had the precompiled library left from my previous 0.3.0.1 install so, I installed it using installpkg. Now the problem is that when try to launch exaile, the splash screen shows up, but quickly disappears (this was also happening with the newer version, when it required newer gtk+). The error I am getting is:
Code:
bash-3.1$ exaile
INFO : Loading Exaile 0.3.0.1...
INFO : Loading settings...
INFO : Setting up deferred idle manager function...
INFO : Loading plugins...
INFO : Loading collection...
/usr/lib/exaile/xl/common.py:342: DeprecationWarning: BaseException.message has been deprecated as of Python 2.6 self.message = message
/usr/lib/exaile/xl/common.py:345: DeprecationWarning: BaseException.message has been deprecated as of Python 2.6 return repr(self.message)
Also, when I logged in as the root, exaile would launch without any problems or glitches.
I use slackware 13.1-current on desktop with 4gb ram, nvidia geforce 210, and AMD cpu.
I have problem with my X starting using 40-50 MB of RAM and after some hours suddenly rises up to 400-500 MB. I have tried KDE ( with and without desktop effects ), LXDE, 3 different nvidia drivers ( the one made from the slackbuilds ) but no luck.
I decided at last to use the default slackware's driver. I uninstalled the nvidia driver and do startx, but it says code...
I have no idea about GPU and drivers, it was a mistake to install a driver for my nvidia just to have desktop effects. I just want to bring the things back as at the beginning of the systems installation and the default drivers.
Do you have any idea how to do it?
I cannot uninstall Firefox, nor can I uninstall Chromium; one always stays if the other is uninstalled. For example, if I remove Firefox, Chromium will appear in its place and vice versa. This has got to be one of the weirdest bugs I've ever seen on Ubuntu! So, how can I uninstall both web browsers?

View 2 Replies View Relatedthe upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 has proved to be an unmitigated disaster for my netbook. I have no menus! Nothing at the top (i.e. the usual Gnome desktop with "Browse and run installed applications," "Applications," "Places," "System") and no Unity buttons available wherever I put the cursor.Plus, when the system goes to sleep and I press the power button to revive it, it reboots! I don't understand how v. 11.04 is an improvement over v. 10.10.
how I can uninstall v 11.04 -- bearing in mind I have no menus -- so I can reinstall v. 10.10?

I am having a bit of a problem with Wine as I cannot remove any of the programs that I have installed in it, namely Steam. Even if I try to uninstall wine via "sudo apt-get remove wine" I can still navigate to Steam through Applications - Wine - Programs - Steam. I don't know what to do. I've even tried the "Uninstall Wine Software" option to get rid of Steam but that has also failed.
