How the hell do I uninstall Gens from a Linux installation?
I compiled it from source, and used "make install". But the source is missing the UNINSTALL or DEINSTALL file, and there's no way to even remove it.

If its ubuntu or debian based you can try using the synaptic package manager to uninstall it. I did it that way when I uninstalled my compiled Lugaru.

Go through the /var/log/messages files
Find what installed when you executed the installer.
Prune away.

If Ubuntu, try sudo apt-get remove.

Synaptic and Aptitude won't work because it was not installed by a package. It was compiled from source and used "make install" to perform the installation, so Aptitude (apt-get) and Synaptic will not know of it, in which I already tried anyway.
As for /var/logs/messages I'll give that a shot, thanks.Customized Sega Genesis Model 1 - VA3. Energy efficient with buck converters instead of LM7805's.
