Anastasia,

There is no built-in support for uninstalls in OMake - this is normally 
handled by using an appropriate package manager "native" to the 
particular OS or distribution.

However, the advice to simply install with a different prefix is a 
reasonable one - OMake developers commonly use it for our own testing 
(as we often have to deal with several separate versions 
simultaneously). Note that the appropriate library path will be compiled 
in, so you just need to run the correct omake binary and it will pick 
"its own" standard library installation.

Hope this helps.

Aleksey
