1.8 How do I uninstall / reinstall VLC ?
|

--------------------------------------
|
||||
Why would you want to ? ;)
|
||||
|
||||
If you're using a source distribution of VLC, for example a tarball or
|
||||
the CVS, then you have probably used "make install" to install the
|
||||
compiled VLC. To remove it just "make uninstall". If you want to
|
||||
install a newer version than the currently installed one, you should
|
||||
first uninstall the first one. If you deleted the original source tree,
|
||||
a "make uninstall" in the newer tree should still work.
|
||||
|
||||
For binary packages, remove old packages first and install the new ones
|
||||
(normally this should be handled automagically by your sytem).
