This would not work if the "make uninstall" is invoking some shell scripts or programs that are only found in the source tree, not the installed by "make install". Actually, I'm quite frustrated that nowadays, "make -n install" won't even give you any clue of what will be done. It's just a dozen multi-line shell commands to invoke a ton of other things, often a "./install-files" script distributed with the source. -- Lee Sau Dan 李守敦(Big5) ~{@nJX6X~}(HZ) E-mail: danlee@informatik.uni-freiburg.de Home page: http://www.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~danlee
