Hi blackjackpsp.

If you are sure the Ubuntu package providing the CLI clients have been removed (sudo apt-get remove mosquitto-clients) then you probably got some leftovers from the source build floating around.

Sometimes "make uninstall" in the source tree will (try) to remove stuff again but it is not always a trivial task. If you lost the source tree try looking for the binaries manually. Build systems will usually put local builds in /usr/local instead of /usr by default, so try looking for mosquitto* binaries in there and remove them.

You can always check exactly which file is executed by the shell (after $PATH expansion et. al) using the which command:
$ which mosquitto_sub
/usr/bin/mosquitto_sub

Good luck.
Mikkel
