Full Version: uninstall question

I recently decided to update, and before checking here I did my usual SVN checkout, apt-get the dependencies in README.linux, and ./build.sh. I was getting compile errors, so I compiled on my own same problem, I tried
Code:
$ sudo make && make install
and it installed fine, but when I go to play an iso, it crashes. avi's are fine. So Ifigure it was a build problem, came here and saw that there was a stable deb package.

So I
Code:
rm -rf /home/me/XBMC
added the repository to sources.list and
Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xbmc
appears to install fine but still iso files crash the app, so I
Code:
sudo apt-get remove xbmc

but I can still launch xbmc and get the app to run??
Code:
$ xbmc
and iso files still crash
I looked in my home directory and there is not an XBMC directory, I looked in /usr/share and no XBMC directory?

How do I completely uninstall xbmc, so I can install the stable version?
forgot to mention that XBMC is reporting build 14333
You should have done an "sudo make uninstall" to uninstall the manually compiled one. AFAIK "make install" and the PPA should be installed in the same place though.
yeah you are right, I was in a hurry and in the past if I have had trouble compiling b/c of old objects I have been able to delete /home/me/XBMC, check out the source and compile without issue.

Where is the default install directory? home?
/usr/local/share/xbmc/ << install path
/usr/local/bin/xbmc << launcher script
