Uninstalling SVN Binaries

[Stephen McKeague <st...@mckeague.co.uk>]

Hi guys,

I was wondering if someone could help with a basic question.  I  
installed the Mac OS X SVN 1.4.4 binary but would now like to  
completely uninstall it, as I seem to have a pre-existing install in  
another location.  Forgive me if I'm being stupid but I cannot find a  
way of doing this.  Could someone please help?

Many thanks
Stephen

Mac OS X does not include an uninstaller, so this is one of the  
features of the MacPorts package manager that I really value -- being  
able to uninstall packages with one command.

For the binary you've already installed, since it was most probably  
installed using the Apple Installer, it left a receipt in /Library/ 
Receipts. You may be able to find a 3rd-party uninstaller tool that  
can read the receipt to uninstall it. Search www.macupdate.com for  
"uninstaller" and try them out.

Or you could open the installer package again. If you don't have it  
anymore, download it again from wherever you got it. Open it into the  
Installer but don't install it. Instead, use the Show Files menu item  
(I forget which menu it's in). This shows you all the files that will  
be installed. You can then use that list to manually remove the  
files. The files listed may not include the prefix into which it was  
installed, so you may have to prepend the prefix, which is probably / 
usr/local.

You could send your mail with a more relevant subject: generally
people sending mails to this list seek help, so, "Help needed please"
doesn't necessarily attract Mac knowledgeable people. (Which I'm not,
sorry...)

Hope someone reads your mail.

Bye,

Erik.

Hello there

I sent an email around a while ago asking how to uninstall the SVN  
1.4.4 binary from Mac OS X, as it's causing problems with another  
version I have installed through a package manager.

I have not as yet received a response, but if someone could please  
help me it really would be much appreciated.  Sorry if there's a  
simple answer I'm not aware of.

Thank you all for your time
Stephen
