Hi Dan,
Thanks for your advice.
I made following test
cd to the directory containing the untar files
# make -n install > installation.log
make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.
ALSO tried without space between '>'
# make -n install>installation.log
make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop
CHANGED to the directory (dist) from where starting installation (such
as ./configuration, make, etc.)
# make -n install > installation.log
No response.
Whether I have to issue this command immediate after installation.
Because it is alreay 3 days passed.
If I removed all source files from the directory would it be sufficient
removing the application. OR I have to use 'locate' command to find all
directory and sub-directories and remove all files there. How to check
before start whether such a erasion would not infect the OS and other
applications
Thanks in advance.
B.Regards
Stephen
