RE: [ILUG] upgrading newbie question

If you unpack your beta1 source again and do ./configure you might be able to
do a 'make uninstall'. However, this option is not always available. If you
know where the files were installed then you could remove them manually.
Installing the new version should overwrite the previous one as long as the
files are installed in the same location.
Hope this helps, if I'm wrong could someone point out?
