How to uninstall MacGIMP
Authored by: ChaChi on Nov 25, '03 12:10:15PM
Try this:

1.) Double click the "MacGimp" installer package
2.) Click "Continue"
3.) Select "Show Files" from the "File" menu
4.) Click "Save...", give the file a name and save it
5.) Quit the installer

This will give you a complete listing of the files that "MacGimp" installs on your system.

On my system the files installed by "MacGimp" got installed in an invisible directory named "/opt" at the root level of my Hard Drive. The only other files I could see that "MacGimp" installed were these two:
/usr/X11R6/lib/libjpeg.9.dylib
/usr/X11R6/lib/libjpeg.dylib

I just issued the following command in the "Terminal" to completely erase all of the files that "MacGimp" installed?

sudo rm -rf /opt /usr/X11R6/lib/libjpeg.9.dylib /usr/X11R6/lib/libjpeg.dylib

Not sure if it's the same for everyone though.

I can't test it, but I very much suspect

lsbom /Library/Receipts/MacGimp.pkg/Contents/Archive.bom

(or something very similar), followed by a view sed lines to have the same effect.
