The Mac OS X installer .pkg format does not feature an "uninstall"... But you can see which files were installed by the package, by using: lsbom -s /Library/Receipts/RPM5.pkg/Contents/Archive.bom The packages in BINARY install mostly under /usr/local and /var/local. There is also a module for /Library/Python, and one for /Library/Perl. > Parts of it that I have been able to find so far are in /usr/local/lib, > /usr/bin/pkg-config, and /usr/local/src. > > I need to uninstall it in order to do homebrew. The /usr/bin/pkg-config was not installed by the regular RPM5 install. Most likely, you have a broken version installed by Mono.framework ? You don't need to uninstall rpm in order to use homebrew, unless you plan on installing rpm with brew and it somehow conflicts on files. If you installed any .rpm files, you should uninstall those before rpm. --anders ______________________________________________________________________ RPM Package Manager http://rpm5.org User Communication List rpm-users@rpm5.org
