There usually is a "make uninstall", too. But I suggest to use stow, or better, xstow, to install software. It goes like this: cd myproject-1.2.3 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/stow/myproject-1.2.3 make su emerge xstow make install cd /usr/local/stow stow myproject-1.2.3 Now you have symlinks in /usr/local, as if you installed into /usr/local directly. To uninstall, issue a 'xstow -D myproject-1.2.3' and remove /usr/local/stow/myproject-1.2.3. All clean and tidy again. Alex -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
