    If you tell us how you installed it, specifically, we'll be better able to help you with uninstalling. Also, although I can't help with graphics programming, posting a bit more about what you're trying to do would help you with getting help on that.

    sm5bsz.com/linuxdsp/install/svgainst.htm



    second thing what i wanted to do exactly is i want to display one big image file while i am downloading it from ftp serever. I actually tried SDL library also. It is also giving some compilation problem.

    I'd suggest uninstalling it with "make uninstall" (I looked, there's an "uninstall" target in the make file).

    There are also instructions for removing old versions manually on the page you referenced.

    As far as uninstalling the svga library, I'm not 100 percent sure. However, another good graphics library to use is the directfb library if you're looking for framebuffer support. ezfb is another one, but it is less well developed than any of the others mentioned previously.
