 How uninstall QEMU from Mandriva 10.2?

The subject line says it all. I need to get rid of QEMU in order to free up resources before installing VMWare Server's free edition, but a Google search doesn't bring up anything at all. Can it be as simple as removing the executable files from /usr/local/bin?

If you installed it into /usr/local/bin, I'm assuming you did a source build. 'make uninstall' usually works if you have the source code still around, or can unpack and reconfigure. Building isn't required.

If you installed via rpm, 'rpm -e packagename'

That's odd...

Unfortunately neither of those apply. I installed it from a tarball, but it was a pre-compiled binary that loaded up three directories. No makefile for make uninstall, and no RPM either. Unfortunately I cannot remember where the tarball came from...

At this point I suspect that I can use the tarball itself as a guide and simply delete all the files that it installed, since I don't find any sort of config file in /etc or elsewhere. The tarball itself is in my home directory, so I'll simply print its list of files and make a little script to remove them.

It worked. QEMU is gone.

For future reference you might want to install the "checkinstall" package.
