cant uninstall application installed from source with pacman.

I made and installed the songbird-nightly program. It couldnt import a library, thus, wasnt even worth fully testing, unless I was going to manually get it to read all of my songs-- which I will not do.
Now, to get this off my computer, I tried several things, and then determined that I must not be using the right package name, so I ran:

pacman -Q | grep songbird

and it returned :

songbird-nightly 20080720-1

thus, I did:
pacman -Rsc songbird-nightly-20080720-1

and it returned:

error: 'songbird-nightly-20080720-1': could not find or read package

So, how do I get this poo off my computer.
Ok, its not poo. I love mozilla and virtually every program they make, but right now, its poo.

pacman -Rsc songbird-nightly

i hate that it was that easy.
Thanks though. Still learning the in's and out's of pacman. It's not exactly apt-get.

I don't think songbird is from mozilla, it just uses XUL Runner.

Don't hate pacman for being perfect.

nonsense. Songbird is from Mozilla. Even if it wasnt, it still would be because its an awesome program,
Mozilla and Sun make amazing *nix apps.

If pacman is perfect, then how come it won't improve anymore?

How can you improve on perfection?
