The results are as follows (after running 'make uninstall' for myththemes, mythplugins and mythtv in that order i.e. reverse of installation order): {{{ # ls -l /usr/local/bin/myth* ls: /usr/local/bin/myth*: No such file or directory # ls -l /usr/local/lib/libmyth* ls: /usr/local/lib/libmyth*: No such file or directory # ls -l /usr/local/lib/mythtv/ total 0 # ls -l /usr/local/include/mythtv/ total 0 # ls -lR /usr/local/share/mythtv/ /usr/local/share/mythtv/: total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 16 08:10 mytharchive drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 16 08:10 mythvideo /usr/local/share/mythtv/mytharchive: total 0 /usr/local/share/mythtv/mythvideo: total 0 }}} From this process it therefore seems that the following directories are not being removed: {{{ /usr/local/share/mythtv/mytharchive /usr/local/share/mythtv/mythvideo /usr/local/share/mythtv /usr/local/include/mythtv /usr/local/lib/mythtv }}} Is this something that needs to be addressed? I can attempt a suitable patch if it is. Nick " defect closed minor 0.21 mythtv head medium fixed make uninstall 0
