"Invalid Argument" error message on Ubuntu

Post by hx87 »

I installed AESCrypt twice, first compiling from source, and when I realized that the source did not include a GUI, I installed the 32-bit Linux binary on Ubuntu 13.04 (x86). Now when I try to start AESCrypt GUI, I receive the following error message:

Invalid argument, single filename is required

It looks like installing AESCrypt both from source and from binaries has caused this error. What files do I have to remove the installation from source and start from scratch?

To uninstall the build created with the source, I think you can type "make uninstall". If that does not work, just manually remove the two files "aescrypt" and "aescrypt_keygen". Those would normally be placed in /use/bin.
