Uninstall WebObjects/XCode Tools Help

radioraheem · 06-22-2006, 07:23 PM

I've spent a few hours digging through documentation and I still can't seem to find uninstall instructions for WebObjects and XCode tools. My MacBook only has 512MB of RAM at the moment so I want to get rid of OpenBase which is taking up way too much memory.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Many thanks in advance.

I don't know about WebObjects, but to uninstall Xcode you would use the script 'uninstall-devtools.pl' that is in /Developer/Tools

And I don't even know what OpenBase is.

But I don't see the connection with the amount of RAM you have. Xcode etc doesn't take up any RAM unless you run the Xcode apps. I guess you are just trying to save disk space.

OpenBase is an SQL manager and I'm not sure how it even got on my system... I didn't notice it until after I installed XCode and Webobjects, and my activity monitor shows 5 instances of OpenBase taking up about 3.5 MB of each. From what I've read OpenBase will prompt you for uninstall options when you uninstall the parent application that it is working with. I'm hoping it'll uninstall with one of the two I've listed here.

Thanks for the tip though, I'm running the script now...

and it may be an X11 app, so that may be why XTools was installed? Just a guess about that part of it.

I know this post is old but .....

OpenBase is installed when you install WebObjects. WebObjects uses it for its example applications. If you installed the WebObjects documentation then you will also have OpenBase databases eating up RAM. To keep it from starting up just type this in a Terminal window:

sudo rm -r /Library/StartupItems/OpenBase

type in your administrator password when it prompts you.
