How can I manually uninstall libvips on Ubuntu 15.10 without make?

Because I built it a while ago and do not have the project folder and its make anymore.

Thanks for any clues

FYI I have these locations

$ sudo find / -iname vips
/usr/local/include/vips
/usr/local/include/vips/vips
/usr/local/bin/vips

You could install the same version again to the same prefix, then do sudo make uninstall.

You could also wipe /usr/local/ completely and rebuild it with just the packages you want.

I tend to install vips to a private prefix, eg. ./configure --prefix=/home/john/vips, and add the ~/vips area to my environment. It means I can cleanly wipe and rebuild by just removing that directory.

Good idea. Will remember that for next time. Thanks again!
