deinstall bad install (of a program) from autoconfig?
Hi,
I recently, in the process of trying to upgrade a certain program w/ OS Ubuntu 8.04.1 (maxima 5.13 -->maxima 5.16) via Autoconfig, which it turned out, had some problems, & wouldn't run properly. I need to know, now, how to uninstall what did get installed, so that I may try again to do a proper install (some, if not all of the problems were mostly from my rather unexperienced procedure).
I tried using 'apt-get remove maxima', & didn't really expect it to work (my suspicions seemed well founded, it didn't, the terminal "said" something like: "program not installed." However when I did a 'maxima -d' it listed a bunch of files w/pathnames (at least there is some computer trace for them, which gives me some hope).
Thanks much in advance.
Henry
