That doesn't get the stuff in /usr/local/bin or /usr/local/include or
probably some other directories.
Given that you want to remove all versions, this should be an easy way to
get most of it:
rm -rf /usr/local/*/octave*
You might want to do this first to see what you're getting:
ls -ld /usr/local/*/octave*
On my system there are files in all these places:
/usr/local/bin/octave*
/usr/local/include/octave/
/usr/local/include/octave-[versions]/
/usr/local/info/octave.info*
/usr/local/lib/octave/
/usr/local/lib/octave-[versions]/
/usr/local/libexec/octave/
/usr/local/share/octave/
/usr/local/src/octave-[versions]/
/usr/local/src/octave-[versions].tar.gz
So, if you don't want to remove the files in, for example, /usr/local/src,
you'll have to either move them, or do one rm command at a time with fewer
wildcard characters.
This command might also help, depending on your system:
locate octave | less
Or maybe this...
ls -l `locate octave` | less
...but it's slower. The advantage is that it will note which files have
been removed since the last update of the locate database.
