I uninstalled it with the Add/Remove gui. The name of the package is
zsnes. I think I may have installed the version for Mandriva Linux by
mistake, as the package has the letters 'mdv' in it. rpm -q zsnes shows
only the other zsnes package, the i586 one from the repository. I was
trying to install an x86_64 one but it didn't work. That's why I removed it.
