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.)
As part of the installation process on Windows, the libSBML installer
program places an uninstaller program in the top-level folder where libSBML
is installed. This uninstaller is named Uninstall_libSBML.bat.
To uninstall libSBML on Windows systems, 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.
