What else have you installed to /usr/local? It's always an option to
remove all files :-)

 $ find /usr/local -type f -exec rm -f {} \;

Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.
Keep Europe free from software patents, we do not want censorship
by patent law on written works.

Imagine if every Thursday your shoes exploded if you tied them the usual
way. This happens to us all the time with computers, and nobody thinks of
complaining.
