How to Set the Newer Version of dot (a tool of graphviz)?

Question

I wanted to use doxygen 1.8.5 on CentOS 7 which uses dot to produce graphs of source codes. dot is a tool of graphviz package. I downloaded graphviz 2.42 and installed it by going through the following steps: (1) ./configure (2) make, and (3) make install. I, then, decided to use the latest version of graphviz (version 2.44) to prevent some bugs and issues of the older version 2.42.

To do this, I tried to uninstall the graphviz 2.42 using the command yum autoremove graphviz. Then, I used this installation guide to install graphviz 2.44. Graphviz 2.44 is successfully installed but the version of dot is still 2.42. I checked it with dot -V.

Why the version of the dot is still 2.42 while graphviz 2.44 is installed? How can I change the version of dot to the most recently installed one?

Thanks

Have you tried `sudo make uninstall` in the source directory? — GAD3R, Dec 05 '20 at 18:27
A bit off topic but: You want to use doxygen 1.8.5 from August 2013, the current version is 1.8.20 (I'm not sure that doxygen 1.8.5 will work together with dot 2.44). — albert, Dec 05 '20 at 18:48
@albert I installed it because it was the version in centos.pkgs.org. But, I have an issue with doxygen 1.8.5. It is about dot. I get the error: png not recognized. I searched about it and 'dot -c' is suggested to solve this issue. But it doesn't work for me. — Arghavan Mohammadhassani, Dec 05 '20 at 19:03
Did you solve the problem as the answer (about the uninstall) is accepted? — albert, Dec 06 '20 at 08:49
