I tried that on joe. It installed it again in different locations. :-(
And it, unlike the .src.rpm installed some of it under /var/tmp too. So
now I have 2 sets of joe splattered all over. And niether will
uninstall. (And these apps have no uninstall function -- only a make
clean which gets rid of the obj (.o) files.)
BTW, is there any utility for linux which locates duplicate files of
various kinds (by name only, crc, size & contents, etc.)??
And, in linux can I uninstall manually by just deleting the directories
created by an app and the executables and any config files? -- i.e.
there's nothing like the registry database as in winnt or win9x.

Doesn't call it anything -- it isn't in there by any name with either
install. Nor is the tree pkg which I installed the same way.
