I don't believe the mutt makefile has an uninstall option, but you could grep for it in Makefile* in the source directory. Better, though, if you're not sure is to run ./configure --prefix=/some/unique/dir ... so that mutt gets installed in that unique dir; you can then safely wipe that dir if you discover that you want to get rid of mutt for some reason. Another approach would be to create a TIMESTAMP.BEG file somewhere before you start your make, and then when you have run your make install create a TIMESTAMP.END file; you'll then pretty safely bracket the time when your mutt was built and you can run a gawdawful find / -newer /path/to/TIMESTAMP.BEG \! -newer /path/to/TIMESTAMP.END to see the files if you've forgotten which were under /etc and which under /usr/local/doc and whatnot. I highly recommend the --prefix approach, though. % % Thank you for your patience with these questions.
