Some applications are installed by "configure", not rpm packages,

How to remove them?

Thanks

You mean by compiling the sources? Usually every application that you
compile have a way to be de-installed that boils down to do a
make uninstall in the source directory. See the documentation of the
specific application. The last option is to hunt down the executables
and delete them.

.... the "configure" script doesnt install
the package, "make install" does.

"make uninstall" to remove

"man rm"

(if your question is really how to FIND the files to remove, ask it).

In some cases, running "make uninstall" in the source directory helps.
For the future, use stow or checkinstall after compiling the software,
that way you can get rid of it easier if make uninstall doesn't work.

Ahh, yes, and another completely useless answer to annoy the newbies.

Case, some better written packages include a "make uninstall" command, but
it's still fairly unusual and requires thought by the author to incorporate.
You can see the results of a "make -n install" command to record what files
are generated and where, and delete those.

But if you're starting from scratch, I highly recommend looking into writing
such packages into an RPM in order to manage them better. It teaches you a
lot about how RPM's work, and allows you far superior package management,
such as the ability to assign conflict or obsolescence information about
related packages and keep them out of each other's way.

Thanks all of u.

What made that especially amusing was that the aforementioned
alien menace wasn't actually alien. It was made in England.
