Hi,

How can I uninstall Boost library? I try "make uninstall" but there is no target named 'uninstall' in the Makefile.

You mean the makefile produced by the new configure script? Best you can do is use the 'clean' target. Other than that uninstalling is as easy as just deleting the include directory and the libs generated.

And if I need to update Boost library, do I need to uninstall first before installing it.

No. The install is designed to not clobber old versions, as is the build and library names. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - Grafik/jabber.org
