Linux.

1) Why there is no target 'uninstall' in Makefile (generated by ./configure)?
2) How to uninstall locally installed ruby?

I just compiled and locally installed version 1.9 and want to roll back to 1.8

Thanks!

Pass.

2) How to uninstall locally installed ruby?

Assuming you have the original source tree, you could do:

make -n install > ./somefile

And edit "somefile": s/cp|install/rm -fr/g -- as apropos, and then
run the file through your shell.

Hmm. I'd prefer there was better way.

But thanks!
