unininstalling v. 10.5 on debian squeeze

Asked by Henry Peters

I installed v. 10.5 (compiled myself), I have both qt 3 & qt 4 installed (debian squeeze), I think I missed the command that switches to the proper version of qt during compiling... & now Stellarium will not run properly.

I now notice that synaptic has the most current version, so I wish to uninstall my compilation, & install with synaptic. I have tried, from the source directory 'cmake uninstall' & 'su cmake uninstall' & other variants... no luck.

$ cd /home/henry/Documents/stellarium-0.10.5
henry@musicbox:~/Documents/stellarium-0.10.5$ cmake uninstall
CMake Error: The source directory "/home/henry/Documents/stellarium-0.10.5/uninstall" does not exist.

Pretty much the same thing happens when I do this as root.

Any advise here appreciated.

Henry

The command is "make uninstall", and you need to run it from the build directory - the same place you ran "make install".

Hi Bogdan,

Yes I tried that too (including as root), & I get this:

henry@musicbox:~$ cd /home/henry/Documents/stellarium-0.10.5
henry@musicbox:~/Documents/stellarium-0.10.5$ make uninstall
make: *** No rule to make target `uninstall'. Stop.

Is there any way to check the path of the build directory, in case some how this was not the correct directory? T

Thanks much!

Henry

If you were following the instructions in the Stellarium Wiki, your build directory should be in the /builds/unix subdirectory of Stellarium's main directory.

In all cases, the build directory should contain a file called "Makefile" and probably a file called "cmake_uninstall.cmake".

Can you help with this problem?
