In order to uninstall libSBML from a computer system, please follow the instructions below depending on the kind of operating system involved.
The libSBML build system comes with a command for uninstalling libSBML suitable for removing the software on UNIX-based systems. To invoke it, go to a terminal shell, move to the libSBML source directory (i.e., where you previously built libSBML), and execute the following command:
make uninstall
This command will remove everything that was installed by the last
make install
command.
(Note that there is a potential problem if you have run
configure
with different options than were configured when you
performed the last make install
. The libSBML uninstallation
command will only know about what was last configured. If you run
configure
, then make install
, then run
configure
again with different options, and finally try
make uninstall
, it will only attempt to uninstall the files
implied by the most recent run of configure
, not the files
installed by the original make install
.)
On Windows, you have two possible approaches for uninstalling libSBML. You can use either approach.
Uninstall_libSBML.bat
. To use it,
navigate to the libSBML installation folder (which might be, for example,
C:\Program Files\SBML\libSBML-3.1.1-expat
) and execute
Uninstall_libSBML.bat
. It will remove the files installed by
the libSBML Windows installer.
The Mac OS X installer for libSBML places an uninstall script in the
bin
subdirectory of the location where you installed libSBML.
(This location is /usr/local
by default.) To run the
uninstaller, start a terminal shell and type the following command at the
prompt:
sudo /usr/local/bin/uninstall-libsbml-pkg.sh
If, on the other hand, you built and installed libSBML from the source
distribution, then you can use the make uninstall
