How to clean up the aftermath of make install ?

Question

System administration

Just today I came across and read this article habrahabr.ru/post/130868/.
Now I actually understand what kind of mess I made on the server.
The fact is that I mastered gearman and performed the installation on a combat server. Naturally, the installation was performed according to the manual using make install.
What happened as a result:
As a result, some incomprehensible version of the 0.33 server was obtained, which does not support the mysql described in the docks. Whatever I do, what additional libraries I don't install, nothing happens. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling but all in vain.
After reading the article, I tried to do the same on a virtual server. Everything got out of the packages in 5 minutes. Here is the difference:

Please tell me how can I clean the server now completely from gearman, in order to install it on a new one from the package?

Answer 1

If there are no sources left from which they were collected or the removal procedure is not prescribed in them, then there is no sane and convenient way, download the sources of the same version that were installed and analyze the make file, from there look what and where is put after assembly and clean it for a long time and hard with pens - this is in general. In particular, you most likely compiled the sources without mysql support, compile the same sources with support and already in the package, there is a high probability that the package will overwrite the old versions during installation.

Answer 2

See /usr/local, probably installed there. In general, configure with the "--prefix /opt/temp_dir" key, compile and install (the same make install), and then look in /opt/temp_dir for what lies and look in /usr or rather in /usr/local, but be aware that existing files may well have been overwritten, especially if /usr was the default prefix.
