This was installed via IBM installation Manager (IM), are you unable to uninstall it via Installation Manager? Most people try to use the GUI interface to IM, but if

  • there isn't enough XWindows installed, or
  • some of the GUI libraries are the wrong versions for the Eclipse shell to start, or
  • You are using telnet (Odd, but you can) or SSH without X forwarding,

you may get some "helpful" error messages. You can use the "imcl" command to do this from a terminal session by (note these paths are DEFAULT, and may not match your setup as a result) running:

/opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/tools/imcl -c

And following the prompts to remove that version of ClearCase. I recall CC 8.0.1 allows removal on the command line for this very reason. (Installing, upgrading, and uninstalling on Unix hosts without requiring X or X-forwards.)
