It depends on which distribution you are using.
1) For (*.rpm) based distributions like Redhat, Fedora Core, SUSE, Madrake, etc, use this to get the exact program name first because, the program name is not exactly same as the the rpm file name.
rpm -qa | grep programname
Then use this to remove it.
rpm -e programname
2) For (*.deb) based distributins like Debian, Ubuntu, Mepis, etc, to remove the program but, keep the configuration files for the program, use this
dpkg -r programname
To remove everything including configuration files, use this
dpkg -P programname
3) For (*.tgz) based distribtion like Slackware, use
pkgtool
and select the package which you wish to remove. There are more options available for Slackware which I don't remember right now. Hope this helps.
