codelite, cannot install using makepkg -i

My system has an old version of codelite 9.0. I can't remember how I installed it, probably also through PKGBUILD.

My codelite 9.0 stops running after a system upgrade (-Syyu). So I successfully did a package build of version 10.0 using makepkg. But installing with makepkg -i fails as I have all the old codelite files in my file system.

How to I remove all the old codelite files or how to force an overwrite.

Thanks.

Re: codelite, cannot install using makepkg -i

Sounds like you installed it using "make install" (or similar), not with a PKGBUILD. Now you have untracked files all over your system. If you don't still have the original makefile to do the uninstall, you have to do it manually.

Edit: run pacman -Qo on the problem files to be sure.

I think I have to remove all the conflicting files manually. Fortunately, most are in codelite folders.

Thanks.
