MySQL distributes pre-compiled binaries, too (because of irky glibc issues on some platforms); and with great success, I might add. > Exspecially on virus scanner updates, I would think it is > very important to have that, What does ClamAV really need, in terms of libraries? Not that much, it seems. On my FreeBSD system, all it really needs is: /usr/local/lib/libclamav.so.1 There is other stuff, like: /usr/local/lib/libgmp.so.6 And curl libraries, and such. But, as far as I can tell, really only libclamav.so.1 would have to be updated on a new engine. Is this route advisable? Maybe not; but doable? I think so. - Mark _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
