I've just made an error during installation. At the dialog I selected 
BOTH c-ares and IPV6.

That caused an error:

curl-7.16.0_1  does not support both c-ares and IPv6 - disable one of 
them.

OK. I thought I'd simply run "make install clean" again and at the 
dialog I would make my selection. However, I do not get to the dialog. 
My choices have been saved somewhere and are being re-used. I need to 
clean up from my first effort. What do I need to do to wipe the slate 
clean?
