Thread: 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 -- Adam -- PS I should probably use the name Eve instead!
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 cheers -------------------------- Canaan Surfing Ltd.

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! > Thanks HTH Sebastian > -- Adam -- > PS I should probably use the name Eve instead! 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.
