i'm glad it was resolved even if why remains a mystery.

simply moving (or deleting) the old mesasdk is sufficient,
so there is no need for an uninstall command.

personally, i keep many mesasdk and softlink to the one i want/need to use:

% cd /Appplications
% ls -lhd mesasdk*
lrwxr-xr-x   1 fxt  admin    33B Apr 20 14:27 mesasdk@ -> /Applications/mesasdk_10.10-10.14
drwxr-xr-x@  9 fxt  staff   288B Apr  8 19:48 mesasdk_10.10-10.14/
drwxr-xr-x@ 10 fxt  staff   320B Aug 28  2015 mesasdk_10.10-20150827/
drwxr-xr-x@ 11 fxt  staff   352B Jan 30  2016 mesasdk_10.10-20160129/
drwxr-xr-x@ 10 fxt  staff   320B Apr  5  2016 mesasdk_10.10-20160404/
drwxr-xr-x@ 10 fxt  staff   320B Aug  2  2017 mesasdk_10.12-20170802/
drwxr-xr-x@ 10 fxt  staff   320B Sep 21  2017 mesasdk_10.12-20170921/
drwxr-xr-x@ 11 fxt  staff   352B Jan 27  2018 mesasdk_10.12-20180127/
drwxr-xr-x@ 11 fxt  staff   352B Oct  7  2018 mesasdk_10.14-20181007/
drwxr-xr-x@ 11 fxt  staff   352B Oct  9  2018 mesasdk_10.14-20181009/
drwxr-xr-x@ 11 fxt  staff   352B Mar 15 10:32 mesasdk_10.14-20190315/

taking care to open a new terminal window if i chnage the softlink so that things get initialized correctly.
