remove a program compiled from source

[Timothy A. Holmes]

Hi folks:

 

I am working my way through the installation of a QMAIL server following
the procedures outlined at QmailRocks.org.  as I was working, I
inadvertently mistyped one of the configure strings (in this case for
QmailAdmin) and didn't catch the error till after I had already run the
configure and make && make install-strip.  I corrected my config string
and reran the config and the make and make install-strip, but I am not
sure that that was the right process,  I would like to back out the
installation at the point where I messed up and try it again from
scratch.  I know that using RPM files you can do an rpm -e and it will
remove the offending program, but I don't know how to do it in this case
which is compiled from source.  If anyone can suggest a procedure, and
/or point me at a reference, it would be greatly appreciated.

 

TIM
