title: How to uninstall libraries (installed through compile) in Ubuntu?
body: <p>I tried installing libtiff 4.0.3 through using the commands:</p>
  
  <pre><code>./configure
  make
  make install
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It installed fine. However, I recently found out that I got the versions wrong and so I need to install a new one with a different version. I'd like to how know to remove libtiff from my Ubuntu setup. Would it be the same as <code>sudo apt-get remove [x]</code>? And how do I know what to put on <code>x</code> if I didn't install it through <code>sudo apt-get install [x]</code> command? Would appreciate some help. Thanks. :)</p>
