If you weren't able to succesfuly compile any program (pass to make install stage) then probably you'll only have to delete the directory in which you have source files. If you have done make install and not removed sources then you can type make uninstall and that also should help. About your problems with compiling progz I'd say it's 'cause you don't have required libraries (the devel ones). You can download them from the net (also as sources or rpms) or check for them on your distribution cds. I'm a complete linux newbie but I believe that the problem is lacking libs. I have also problems compiling sources but it's no more that 15% of what I try to install (and I install a lot 'cause I'm still searching for progz that can substitude what I've used on Win)... regards, Cezary Morga
