Uninstalling a default installation

To uninstall the compiler from the default location, you can use either SMIT or installp to remove the compiler filesets.

Notes:
  • If you attempt to remove a fileset that is required by another installed fileset, the selected fileset will not be removed unless its dependents are also being removed.
  • The C++ runtime environment filesets such as libc++.rte, libc++abi.rte, and libunwind.rte and the IBM Open SDK for Rust on AIX 1.96 runtime environment fileset are not removed if you uninstall a default installation.

Using SMIT

The following steps illustrate how to uninstall rustsdk.1.96.0 using the SMIT interface:

  • Run the command: 
    smit remove
  • In the SOFTWARE name field, enter the fileset names (wildcards accepted) separated by a space. If you have rustsdk.1.96.0 installed in its default location, enter the following name in the field: 
    rustsdk.1.96.0*

    In the REMOVE dependent software? field, select yes.

    Note: To preview the uninstallation, set the PREVIEW only? value to yes.

Using installp

To uninstall rustsdk.1.96.0 using the installp command, enter the following command on the command line: 
installp -ug filesets
where filesets is the list of filesets (wildcards accepted) to uninstall.
If you have IBM Open SDK for Rust on AIX 1.96 installed in its default location, use the following command:
installp -ug rustsdk.1.96.0\*
