After some pondering I chose to do the "sudo make uninstall" and see what
got missed.

Of course what was in my /home directory was expected to be missed.

Also missed was:

/usr/local/lib/xastir and the contained fcc-get files

/usr/local/share/xastir and some files within

/usr/local/share/doc/xastir and some files within

/etc/ld.so.conf.d/xastir* files

Which is not to bad to have to chase down and clean up.

There you have it, some feed back for the maintainer of the makefile and for
the wiki.

I am going back to college (at 50) next week and needed the space on my
laptop.
I am halfway done with http://www.canton.edu/csoet/alt_energy/
