While trying to get my IMON remote working I managed to install lirc 0.8.5-CVS. I want to remove this version and install lirc 0.8.3. If I sudo apt-get remove --purge lirc I get Package lirc is not installed, so not removed among other messages. however if I do lircd -v I get 0.8.5-cvs I'd appreciate any help with reverting to lirc 0.8.3 -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-do-I-remove-lirc-0.8.5-CVS--tp23383793p23383793.html Sent from the LIRC mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |

I guess you're still using intrepid, since jaunty ships with 0.8.4a. |

I guess you're still using intrepid, since jaunty ships with 0.8.4a. Hi Jos, I'm a bit of a newbie. How do i use sudo make uninstall? if I just type that in my terminal i get make: *** No rule to make target `uninstall'. Stop. same if I sudo make uninstall lirc. Do I need to do it from within a particular directory? It seems that I have a version of lirc installed that synaptic does not know about and now no way to uninstall other than reformatting and starting from scratch, but surely that is not necessary. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-do-I-remove-lirc-0.8.5-CVS--tp23383793p23402884.html Sent from the LIRC mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |

Well, you go to the directory where you unpacked lirc and ran the steps to set it up and compile and ran sudo make install, in my case it was /usr/src/lirc-cvs. So try to find that directory and the command will uninstall the files. It's true that synaptic doesn't find it, you circumvented the package management ;) So it's not necessary to reinstall(that's the windows-way ;)). Good luck, Jos |
