FAQ: Removing MPI Manually
Occasionally a situation will develop where MPI either fails to install
correctly or is corrupted in such a way that pkgrm (SVR4), or custom -->
remove (SCO) cannot remove the package successfully.
The following procedure will remove MPI from the system manually.
- Remove the Device Drivers
cd /etc/conf/bin
- If ISA or EISA Xi or Xe cards were installed:
./idinstall -d pcxx
./idinstall -d pcx1
- If Microchannel Xi or Xe cards were installed:
./idinstall -d mcxx
./idinstall -d mcx1
- If Xr cards were installed:
./idinstall -d pcxr
./idinstall -d pcr1
- If EPC/X C/X or X/em were installed:
./idinstall -d epca [epc(b-h) may exist on some systems]
./idinstall -d epc1
- If digiScreen was installed:
- Remove the parts of MPI
cd /usr/bin
rm ./mpi ./dpa.Z ./dscreen ./ditty
cd /etc
rm ./dsinfo ./epcadl ./pcxrdl ./pcxxdl
rm ./digi/*
- For SVR4
cd /usr/include/sys
rm ./stdigi.h rm ./dgdscr.h
cd /usr/share/man
rm ./man1/ditty.1
rm ./man4/dsinfo.4
- For SCO OpenServer
rm /usr/include/sys/digi.h
