Uninstalling IBM XL C/C++ for Linux, V13.1

IBM® XL C/C++ for Linux, V13.1 does not provide a stand-alone uninstallation tool. You must use the Linux rpm utility to uninstall IBM XL C/C++ for Linux, V13.1.

Notes:
  • You must have root access to uninstall the compiler.
  • Whenever you uninstall a package, specify the V.R.M-V.R.M.F-B (Version.Release.Modification-Version.Release.Modification.Fix-Build level) of the package. For information about how to determine the package's V.R.M-V.R.M.F-B, see Querying for installed packages.
  • Always uninstall packages in the reverse order in which they have been installed, that is, the last package that has been installed is the first package that you remove.
    Note: The C++ runtime package and SMP runtime package still use V.R.M.F-B in the package names for backward compatibility.
  • You cannot uninstall packages that are required by other packages. For example, libxlmass-devel is a shared component if IBM XL Fortran for Linux, V15.1 is also installed on the same system.
  • The uninstallation commands do not remove any configuration files that have been generated by the new_install or xlc_configure utility.
