Michael, <br><br>Depending on where you installed the source to, <br>you probably have binaries sitting in /usr/local/bin for all ivtv binary apps. You probably have modules sitting in /lib/modules/2.6.17*.<br><br>Just as a personal pet peeve -
<br><br>If you ever do an installation from source that would normally use <span style="font-weight: bold;">make install,</span> use <span style="font-weight: bold;">checkinstall</span> instead. Checkinstall notates everywhere that a make file spits binaries across your system, and records this in the local apt installed database list. Basically, instead of
<br><br style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">sudo make install</span><br><br>do a <br><br><span style="font-weight: bold;">sudo checkinstall</span><br><br>If you look in synaptic package manager, you will see the package you just installed listed there and very easily uninstallable. Also, if you ever do a checkinstall for an app that is already on the system, be sure to remove the packages for that app already there. A good example is gaim. When gaim
2.0 beta 4 got released, people posted checkinstall'd debs. If you didn't remove gaim, gaim-data and any plugins - things got very messy for lots of people.<br><br>Hope that helps, and you help to alleviate this pet peeve :)

I compiled and installed ivtv 0.7.1 last night, and we shall see what
happens. If things are fine for a couple of days, I will re-install
with your version. Thank you again for all of your help.<br>
<br>
Also, another quick question. In order to "un-install" the ivtv
drivers that I made from scratch, how do I go about doing it? Can I
just go into the ivtv source directory where I compiled from and do a
"make uninstall"? <br>
<br>
Thank you again for your help,<br>
Mike</div></div>
