Do you think if I use rpm -e that will take care of the problem without looking for all of those files? &nbsp;If that does not work can I just go back to the old version?<br />
The reason why I tried this is because I have had problems with dependancies in the past and sometimes it takes too long for RPM's to be made available

rpm -e will wipe everything installed by the rpm version.. HOWEVER.. if any of those files would happen to be the same as in the new version, they will get wiped aswell. so after you -e i should do another make install on the new verison.

Samba Upgrade

Installation is the act of making a computer program program ready for execution. Because the process varies programs often come with a specialized program responsible for doing whatever is needed for their installation. Installation may be part of a larger software deployment process. Cross platform installer builders that produce installers for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux include InstallAnywhere, InstallBuilder and Install4J. Installers for Microsoft Windows include Windows Installer, InstallShield, and Wise Installation Studio; free installer-authoring tools include NSIS, IzPack, Clickteam, InnoSetup, InstallSimple and WiX. Mac OS X includes Installer, and also includes a separate software updating application.

Installation

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.
