And as for undoing the effects of running the script, you'll probably have to uninstall each of the ancient versions it installed by hand. The script goes through each of these packages, and untars them under your $HOME/src/xastir directory, in a tmp subdirectory. Each of these packages has had a make and make install done, and some done in nonstandard ways. Some of these packages can be removed by doing "make uninstall" in their directories, but some packages (e.g. gdal) don't provide an uninstall target and will have to have their droppings removed manually. Fortunately, most install by default into /usr/local instead of /usr, and the mess they create should be easy to locate. This kind of thing is why I typically frown on scripts like this being added to the Xastir script base --- they're a great convenience when they're created, but when they stop being maintained they can be a huge headache. > We need to get rid of get-maptools.sh.
