Need help to uninstall TCL 8.5.8
in [TCL]
|
Prev: using expect to test as text-based menu
Next: multiple files into one file based on unique entry in one of the files
From: Kevin on 16 Mar 2010 10:56 I'm a TCL newbie. I compiled and installed TCL 8.5.8 on my Solaris 10 system. Then, I discovered that Expect 5.43 needs an older version of TCL. It was quite easy to install TCL 8.5.8 using "make install", but there does not appear to be a "make uninstall". Does anyone have an uninstall script, or a list of steps to undo everything that the "make install" created? I would like to completely remove version 8.5.8 before installing version 8.4.19. Thanks, Kevin

Get Expect 5.44.1.15 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/expect/files/ -- | Don Porter Mathematical and Computational Sciences Division | | donald.porter(a)nist.gov Information Technology Laboratory | | http://math.nist.gov/~DPorter/ NIST | |______________________________________________________________________|
From: Patrick on 16 Mar 2010 11:13 Before you go through that, maybe you should try Expect 5.44.? This is a snippet from the tcl wiki... Note that the warning regarding expect 5.44 on that page is seriously out of date. The CVS 5.44 version linked to below is fine (and needed to build against Tcl 8.5). http://sourceforge.net/projects/expect/

I recommend staying with 8.5.8, as it is better to stay near the most recently released version. The older the version you use, the greater the potential issues when you are ready to upgrade. That said, if you type make -n install > /tmp/expect.install_script you will end up with the script used to install the package. Then you can walk through it, determining what you need to remove, if you are determined to do this.

It works great with TCL 8.5.8, so my problem is solved. Thanks for your help. --Kevin |
