I don't know if I compiled wrong, but the latest version isn't working for me, it is crashing a lot.
I want to put the old version back on from the Ubuntu repos, but I don't know how to uninstall the new version I have.

Just 'reinstall' from repos and it will copy over everything except for the stuff within ~/.glob2. I'm 99% certain that the stuff within ~/.glob2 will still be compatible with the old ubuntu version. If for some reason it isn't then just delete ~/.glob2 and let glob2 create a new directory.

Hmm.. it still says version 9.1. I've tried reinstalling, and complete removal then installing again. I've also deleted .glob. Any ideas?

Donkyhotay got me running over at the Ubuntu forums, specifically I had to make sure the old version was installed from the repos and delete /usr/local/bin/glob2.
Then I later tried installing from source again it was working for me, but now I've reinstalled Ubuntu and am running the one from the repos.
