Sorry, I've never install php5 manually, so I'm not sure how to undo it. One way might be the folllowing. Either way, this will help a lot if you're ever forced to do something similar in future: Install the checkinstall package, and use it along with non-debian software like so: ./configure make checkinstall make install Checkinstall overrides the normal install procedure, and builds and installs debian package instead. When you decide you no longer want to have the package installed, you can just remove it like any other debian package. If you try it with php5, it might give you errors about the files it wants to install already existing. But it may create the debian package anyway, and it may even install it. If it installs, then uninstalling (actually, purging; check the dpkg options) it will hopefully clean your system. If not, you'll still be closer to fixing it, since the debian package will contain a list of files that php5 installed earlier. Hope it helps.
