Re: Illegal instruction....

aptitude is a curses-based application that largely does the same as 
apt/apt-get. You can use apt/apt-get to purge the packages too.

dpkg --get-selections |grep gps

is a good one to use as well, as it will tell you the install status of 
the package  - that is, if you ran 'apt remove', it will still list the 
packages, but they will be marked as 'deinstall', while if you 'apt 
purge', there will be no trace listed.

Regardless though, the 'rule' should always be that if you switch between 
a debian package and building the application from source, you really want 
there to be no trace of the debian package left behind before diagnosing 
the built application.

Thanks, Paul.  Something to try tomorrow.
