Remember this is pre alpha software we are talking about, a distclean on everything is not guaranteed to work, let alone clean everything. The only thing that is guaranteed to remove all traces of a previous compile is to nuke it all and start from scratch, the easiest way to do that is to install to some place like /opt/e17, where it wont get mingled with unrelated stuff. On the other hand, this is pre alpha software, telling everything to install in /opt/e17 doesn't always work either. B-)
