I am running debian 3.0r and I downloaded bin-utils-2.10 from redhat,
Installaion went smooth but, I also need to install binutil-dev current
version 3.13.90.0.18-1.1_i386 but they are not compatible with each other. I
want to upgrade bin-utils version to 3.13.90.0.18-1.1_i386 but it is
un-sucessful due to bin-util files are already there. I tied using make -n
install to determine the location of the installation file but was confused
with 20000 lines of codes. Please help me if you have any info about " how
to un-install bin-utils-2.10'.
 
thanks

If you are using rpm then you should be able to use "rpm -e bin-utils"
to remove the old package.

If you are compiling and installing from sources then the binaries
will probably have been installed into /usr/local/bin and
/usr/local/lib.

PS. 2.10 is a very old version of binutils...
