Uninstalling Software

[teero]

Hi,
i'm beginer with linux ,also opensuse,and i have a problem with an application (oracle database),i've uninstall it with yast,and after that i have installed it again (the archive and he's extract it's in a folder from the desktop). I give it ./oracle-xe configure, after that i've introduced the http port,the port for the DB,and at last he was asking me if i want oracle to be in start-up,i give it 'y' and after this operations he listed me a lots of errors and the installations have stoped. Now i want to reinstall oracle but i can't uninstall it from yast beacuse it doesn't exist in yast->software->software management->installed software or available software....and if i give it again etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure he says me: Oracle is already configured.
Please help me to uninstall this application to install it again.
Thanks

If you installed it from source you will need to uninstall it by hand. Yast only knows about software that was installed via RPMs. There may be an oracle supplied script to uninstall.
