I think the correct way is: #make uninstall provided the option is present in the makefile. Oh, wait this is Apache2, so it should be having the uninstall target in the makefile. Be careful, this will only work if you have the original configured source code on which you did make install. This will not work if you extract the tarball from scratch. -- Soumyadip Modak [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://soumyadip.blogspot.com -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
