Hi
I am a new user of clam.
I installed version clamav-0.67-1 as an rpm.
However upon trying to update I get this...

I read the instructions and what I thought were relavent parts of the manual. I gathered that the main.cvd file needed to have the permissions changed. So I did this. But now I get -
ERROR: Can't open new file ./80dd74849915a32e to write
Where is it trying to write this file to so that I can change the permissions for this directory.
Any help will be much appreciated.

I ran into the exact same problem. In the /etc/freshclam.conf, uncomment the following line:
# You can change the default database directory here. DatabaseDirectory /var/lib/clamav
The DatabaseDirectory line was commented out by default and caused me these same problems.
HTH,
