First, to answer your question, uninstalling LLVM depends upon how you 
installed it.

If you built LLVM with "make" or "make tools-only," then all you should 
need to do is to delete the LLVM source tree and LLVM object tree.

If you used "make install," then I am not sure what you should do.  You 
might be able to do "make uninstall," but if that doesn't work, you'll 
have to go delete the files by hand.  You'll find them in whatever 
directory you specified with --prefix on the configure command line.

Second, before you delete your LLVM tree, can you tell us what type of 
system you're using and what errors you were getting?  We may be able to 
help you diagnose the problem, but we need more information about the error.
