How to uninstall VirtualBox?

Post by coliban »

Hello,

i have compiled the new version of VirtualBox. Now i want to remove the old version of VirtualBox 4.0.0, but there is no deinstaller and i have no such file like "/etc/init.d/vboxdrv".

Because i do not want to delete all files and i do not know, which libraries where installed previously, i wonder, if there is a tool for the de installation.

(No cannot "yast", "apt-get", "yum", "rpm" because i compiled VB from the sources and installed it with "make")

regards

Thank you,

but if i do that, i get the answer:
make: *** No rule to make target `uninstall'. Stop.

I think, i uninstalled VB with "kmk uninstall".

"Think", because there is no information, if the uninstall was successfull.
