From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: James Ingham To: Cc: insight@sourceware.cygnus.com Subject: Re: insight Date: Thu, 03 Feb 2000 18:53:00 -0000 Message-id: <14490.16332.54329.837409@leda.cygnus.com> References: X-SW-Source: 2000-q1/msg00042.html Andy, If you did install this in a common location, then you will probably have to do something like install the package in a temporary location, then write a script that traverses the /tmp/insight tree, and in parallel the normal prefix tree, and removes all the files in the latter that are also in the former. If you still have the build tree around, you can do the first step with: make install-gdb prefix=/tmp/insight The problem with this is that if you had tcl8.0, tk8.0 or Itcl3.0.1 installed on your machine in the same prefix directory, then this will blow away the old tcl libraries & executables, probably not what you wanted. You can do this, however, and then reinstall Tcl from Scriptics or wherever. In general, as others have pointed out, its probably better not to install a new package in your standard install directory. You can generally configure the prefix to be some temporary location, install there, and keep the build tree around, and then when you know you like the new package, rerun the make install passing the prefix argument for the permanent location.
