Now I am trying to uninstall gnuradio. I am a bit nervous because it is my
first uninstall and the computer isn't mine.
I am doing as http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/FAQ tells
me, however, I can't find anything with the name gnuradio or similar in
these folders: /usr/bin, /usr/lib(64). Furthermore, I don't have the folder
/usr/local/lib(64) in the computer. I wonder if this is normal
I just want to check before starting deleting files. I don't want things to
get worse than they are right now
If you want to get every last file, and you know exactly how the old version
was compiled (ideally down to the ./configure command) then you could always
download that old version, compile it, then run 'make uninstall'. This will
remove all the files that would have been installed, so if it matches your
original config, every last file in your existing gnuradio installation will
be removed.
Of course that's probably overkill, and if you just move the files to another
folder instead of deleting them, then you can always move them back if
something breaks. In answer to your question, often /usr/local is empty until
you start installing things yourself, so having no /usr/local/lib is not unusual.
But if you're going to do the install on lab computers (where presumably there
are a number of identical ones) you'd probably be better off taking the
opportunity to make a package for whatever OS you're running. Then you can
install the same package on all your machines quickly, and when the time comes
to do the next update the package manager will take care of removing the old
files for you.
Cheers,
Adam.
