Keep getting the message below over and over again.

Edit the file to make sure it's appropriately configured. Make sure you look
at the very top of the file.  There's a line that contains "Example" that must
be uncommented or you'll get the "Please edit..." message.
   

found two entrie of clamav.conf :

]# locate clamav.conf
/home/mike/clamav/clamav-0.68/etc/clamav.conf
/etc/clamav/clamav.conf
 


Edited them both and stil get the same message. 

since you do

     * ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc/clamav

then the one you should edit is /etc/clamav/clamav.conf
Examine that file again. Perhaps the Example line is still uncommented.
in my /etc/rc.d/init.d/
 

You won't have that if you compile from source.

there is no clamav.... Maby thats the problem ??? and if it is howto fix
that ???
 

If you still have problems, than for beginners, I would suggest either :
1.   install RPM or deb packages.
Usually they have latest STABLE versions. However, for clamav usually many
problems were solved in CVS snapshot versions.
OR,

2. use my prebuilt clamav linux static binary (built from CVS snapshot)
-   grab 
http://clamav.or.id/snapshot/clamav-devel-latest.linux-static.tar.gz
-   unpack it
   gunzip -c clamav-devel-latest.linux-static.tar.gz | ( cd / ; tar xvf - )
   this will put files in /usr/local/etc, /usr/local/bin, 
/usr/local/sbin, and /usr/local/share/clamav
-  create symlinks
   in /usr/local/bin, delete the files freshclam, sigtool, clamdscan, 
and clamscan if exists.
   create links :
       ln -s clamscan-static clamscan; ln -s clamdscan-static clamdscan;
       ln -s sigtool-static sigtool; ln -s freshclam-static freshclam;
   in /usr/local/sbin, delete the files clamd and clamav-milter if exists.
   create links :
      ln -s clamd-static clamd; ln -s clamav-milter-static clamav-milter;
   in /usr/local/etc, copy the file clamav.conf.milter.linux to clamav.conf
-   run freshclam
-   copy /usr/local/share/clamav/clamd.init to /etc/init.d/clamd
-   run /usr/local/sbin/clamd or execute `service clamd start`

You should now have a fully-functional clamav (and clamd), which runs as 
root.
If the above steps work, you can experiment whatever you want afterwards
(customize clamav.conf, runs clamd as different user, compile your own, 
etc.)
