If you build things by hand, you're just going to have to look thru' the binaries, libraries, config-files that got installed on a particular date. It's very tedious and painful. That's why you should use the FreeBSD ports sytem to build 3rd party stuff, uninstalling in this case would as simple as invoking pkg_delete. -- Jonathan Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jesus saves.
