Uninstall Ruby 2.0 installed from source

Hallo,

I'm very new to Ruby, and quite new to Linux too. I need Ruby to deploy
a Ruby portal from a supplier.

I have installed from source, downloaded the tar.gz uncompressed in a
folder like /home/user/temp, then configure, make, make install.

But the supplier NOW sais to install the 1.8.7 :frowning:

Tryed "make uninstall" but doesn't work, i think i have to delete the
folders manually.

Where can i find what folders i have to delete? is there any
configuration file in any place?

The server is a Ubuntu Server 8.04 LTS.

Thanks for any help!
Marco

Before anything else, if you installed gems, you should disinstall
them. Do

gem list

and for each, do

gem uninstall [gem-name]

Then: did you try

make clean
make distclean
make clean-platform

?

(I never needed to do a disinstall, so I cannot be certain). Anyway,
It should be sufficient to remove directory /usr/local/lib/ruby, and
these executables from /usr/local/bin:

ruby
testrb
ri
rake
rdoc
irb
gem
erb

Thanks Carlo,

make clean and makd distclean did some work, make clean-platform has
responsed with error.

deleted manually the /usr/local/lib/ruby

didn't found the executables in /usr/local/bin ..maybe they was removed
by the make clean action???

the ruby -v command now response /usr/local/bin/ruby: no such file or
directory

the package was removed, maybe something dirty is still presents.

1.9ish installs left a hidden file in the root directory indicating all
installed files. I do not know whether that is the same with Ruby 2.0 but
if it is still there (and not removed by your "make distclean") that could
help.

Kind regards

Must be the shell hash cache. Type

hash -r

or logout & login again.
