## Updating system information.
Removal of <VAIxml-keyval> was successful.
bash-2.03# The following checks to see that the package is intalled on a RedHat system and then uninstalls the package:
[root@salsa root]# rpm --query vaisala-xml-keyval
vaisala-xml-common-1.0.0-5
[root@salsa root]# rpm --erase vaisala-xml-keyval
[root@salsa root]# rpm --query vaisala-xml-keyval
package vaisala-xml-common is not installed
[root@salsa root]# If you are a developer and have installed the package using make install, you can use make uninstall to remove the package as shown below:
[pkb@salsa keyval]$ make uninstall
***WARNING*** did not remove directory (shared?): /home/pkb/usr/man/manl
***WARNING*** did not remove directory (shared?): /home/pkb/usr/man
***WARNING*** did not remove directory (shared?): /home/pkb/usr/bin
***WARNING*** did not remove directory (shared?): /home/pkb/usr
***WARNING*** did not remove directory (shared?): /home/pkb/public_html/vaisala
***WARNING*** did not remove directory (shared?): /home/pkb/public_html
***WARNING*** did not remove directory (shared?): /home/pkb
***WARNING*** did not remove directory (shared?): /home
[pkb@salsa keyval]$
Please note, that the warnings are to be expected as make uninstall works its way up the directory chain. It will not attempt to remove any directories found to contain files.
