how to uninstall Mac OS X ScipySuperpack Intel?
I installed ScipySuperpack-Intel and have had some trouble. I thinking about just giving up on it and compiling my own. Before I do, I'd like to clean up from the packages that I installed: PyMC-1.1-py2.4-macosx10.4.mpkg gfortranCompleteInstaller.mpkg matplotlib-0.87.7-py2.4-macosx10.4.mpkg numpy-1.0.2.dev3522-py2.4-macosx10.4.mpkg scipy-0.5.3.dev2630-py2.4-macosx10.4.mpkg It looks like these install things deep into the filesystem, but I'm not sure what and where. Is there an easy way to uninstall? Is there a hard way? I didn't see any READMEs or such. Thanks ... jra

There's no easy way. Blame Apple for that. There is a hard way, though. In /Library/Receipts, there are bundle directories with metadata about the packages that you have installed. You need to use the lsbom(1) program to extract the file names: $ lsbom /Library/Receipts/py2app-purelib-0.2.5-py2.5-macosx10.4.pkg/Contents/Archive.bom . 40775 501/80 ./Py2App 40775 501/80 ./Py2App/altgraph 40775 501/80 ./Py2App/altgraph/Dot.py 100664 501/80 8425 1846799381 ./Py2App/altgraph/Dot.pyc 100664 501/80 9409 2590730341 ./Py2App/altgraph/Dot.pyo 100664 501/80 9409 2590730341 ./Py2App/altgraph/Graph.py 100664 501/80 19562 2645573956 ./Py2App/altgraph/Graph.pyc 100664 501/80 25554 1326377293 ./Py2App/altgraph/Graph.pyo 100664 501/80 25554 1326377293 ... Note that the paths are relative. Look in the Contents/Info.plist file of the bundle for the IFPkgFlagDefaultLocation value to find the path it is relative to. The list of "files" also includes directories. Do not remove these until they are empty and you know that other packages don't have stuff in there. Also note that those packages you listed are meta-packages. Inside each of these are individual packages. You will only see receipts for the individual packages. PITA, frankly. This is one reason why I gave up on these Installer.app packages. They're just not suited for distributing Python libraries. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco

You can also extract this list by double-clicking on the .[m]pkg file, launching Installer, then choosing Show Files from the File menu. -- Mike
Use Desinstaller. http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/ 13955. It's not a PITA. Jerry On Feb 23, 2007, at 3:12 PM, Jason Addison wrote:

It took me a second to realize that the full URL is: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/13955 I sat here thinking that "13955" was l33t sp34k for "LEGSS", as in, "this DesInstaller program has real legss [sic]". -Peter
