Jerry - somewhere in your library path is an earlier version of the clamav
library. This is very common. In the bin path of the user that clamav runs
as there may even be an old executable. You need to run what ever tools
are available to you to locate it/them. In Solaris you can use the ldd
command against the binary that is popping up the error. You can expand
LD_LIBRARY_PATH (a particularly evil env var) and manually walk that. This
needs to be explored as the user your clamav runs as (hence the evil
nature of LD_LIBRARY_PATH). Somewhere you are going to find a lib file
that is wrong.
Early on I built clamav on a dev box and accepted defaults I found bits of
it where I did not expect. I don't recall if the Makefile had an uninstall
procedure, but from that point on I always manually check with make -n
install where the bits are actually going to be placed, and then I
manually remove the old parts before an upgrade. Yes - I am a control
freak! I can imagine that various rpm builders make decisions ad hoc about
placement of components and so things can become messy very quickly. Did I
mention that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is evil? Especially so if you provide
binaries for others.
