Stuart,
yes, thanks.

Q: in general, if I installed from source via 'compile' method, then,
later, install the same app (newer version) from an RPM:

should I really search'n'destroy all the files from source/compiled install ?
or, not really ?

like, when I installed ProFTPD from source, after a while, I installed a
newer build, again, from source.

then, I realized, I had two ProFTPD binaries, two man pages, once of each
build, in different locations.

it was easy enough (by looking at dates) to find and delete the 'older'
ProFTPD binary, and, the older man page

later, when I installed yet newer ProFTPD from RPM, (now it installed to a
different path again); again, it was easy to get rid of binary and man
page
(and, 'unused' some/path/etc/proftpd.conf)

so, I'm removing binary and man page, but, presumedly, the installaion had
some libraraies etc, that are still somewhere; should I worry abou it, or,
not really ?

(same with tide, I just realized I have a failed install at some/path and,
correct install, at some/other/path)

thanks again,
Voytek
