Updating gdk, glib, gtk+, etc libraries has broken my GTK+ window/icon theme

[mercnet]

I was trying to install Audacious 2.5 which required new libraries:

• gdk-pixbuf-2.22.1
• glib-2.28.6
• gtk+-2.24.4
• libmowgli-60e2589fc14e
• pango-1.28.4

I performed the following commands to build them:

./configure
make
sudo make install

I rebooted and now my current window/icon theme is missing and gives the following error:

This theme will not look as intended because the required GTK+ theme 'eco' is not installed".

If I look at synaptic, it shows it as being installed (see screenshot). How do I go about rolling back the library updates I made? I tried reinstalling the themes from synaptic but so far no luck.

This ppa

has audacious-2.5.0.

I performed the following commands to build them:

./configure
make
sudo make install

How do I go about rolling back the library updates I made?

this is why you should use checkinstall instead of make install, in order to build a .deb that can be easily removed.

You may have to manually remove the files, or look inside the directory that you built in at the makefile, there may be a make uninstall target.

Wow thank you so much. Command 'make uninstall' worked and fixed everything. I will now only use checkinstall, thanks for the tip.
