How can I remove "ImageMagick" completely?

Question

I think I accidently did install 2 ImageMagicks to my CentOS 5.8 before.

Version 6.2.8 was removed by

yum erase ImageMagick

However, it still shows this when I typed $convert -version

Version: ImageMagick 6.8.2-9 2013-02-11 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2013 ImageMagick Studio LLC
Features: DPC OpenMP
Delegates: jng jpeg png ps xml zlib

which convert shows this

/usr/local/bin/convert

This one. I probably installed from the source.
How can I remove this?

Solution

Run 'make uninstall' from the ImageMagick source folder, it includes an uninstall target.

wget imagemagick.org/download/ImageMagick.tar.gz
tar zxvf ImageMagick.tar.gz
cd ImageMagick-6.8.2-10
./configure
make uninstall

What does 'rpm -qf /usr/local/bin/convert' show?

@Justin Thanks it showed file /usr/local/bin/convert is not owned by any package

[HUSTEN]

I might have installed it by wget and make => make install

Just downloaded the ImageMagick source, and you're lucky! it comes with an uninstall target. just run 'make uninstall' from your build folder and it will remove it. This is not common and is the reason to prefer building/using packages over building from source; .

@Justin Thanks for reply. what folder shoud I go? cd /usr/local/bin/convert and execute make uninstall?

[Justin]

Wherever you downloaded the source and originally ran './configure && make && make install'. Or just download it again and run './configure && make uninstall'.

@Justin The problem is that I cannot find where the folder is. and I don't know where I downloaded that file from:(

[Justin]

Try imagemagick.org/download/ImageMagick.tar.gz It's the one from their site that I downloaded. It's 6.8.2.10 instead of 6.8.2-9, but it should do the trick.

[Justin]

yep, 'wget imagemagick.org/download/ImageMagick.tar.gz' 'tar zxvf ImageMagick.tar.gz' 'cd ImageMagick-6.8.2-10' './configure' 'make uninstall'
