Is this a "Stupid Question" ?

I have posted this and similar questions repeatedly and can't even raise
a single response. I am being led to believe that this then 'Must be a
stupid question' although people say that there is no stupid question.
Is that another for political correctness

I am attempting an install of 7.4.3 on FreeBSD O/S 4.9, apparently
remnants of 7.3.x are scattered around on the disk from (a) previous
ports installation, causing mutex_lock/unlock, libpq.so and other
installation problems. I want to reconfigure and reinstall. How do I
know what, & where all these fragments are located or how do I uninstall
all of them or at least those that should be removed.

Thanks

hmmm, not sure that this is the best way.

under linux runing "./configure --help" will show you the default instlation
paths. go to each one of them and delete.

On future instelation you can consider
using --prefix=/usr/local/priv_dir_pg_what_ever_ver

dont forget to update PATH and ld.conf

Hi,

If you installed the 7.3.x server via ports a simple
cd /usr/ports/databases/postgresql73 && make deinstall
should do the trick.
If this doesn't help, have a look into
/usr/ports/databases/postgresql73/pkg_pl.ist

Also have a look at sysutils/portupgrade, it's a great tool!

Better empty your mailbox, letting private messages pass through ;)

I'd suggest looking at the original installations manifast/package
listing and then verifying that all parts of said listing are removed.
I'm not familiar with BSD, but I believe it is likely to have some form
of package manager(apt??) that should enable you to get some sort of
list.  IF not, then looking through an rpm package should provide a list
of all the files.
