It's clear to me, Dale, and it's wrong. I wouldn't do it either. I get my system libs from Sun, for example, because they are guaranteed to work with my OS. Anything else goes into /usr/local where my compiled sources are told to look for it. Generalizations are usually a bad idea - including mine. It is best to leave it to each admin to manage the configuration of their OS's. In this instance the OP can put the path to his libs in his clamav configure. If that doesn't work (as revealed by ldd, for example) then he can hack the Makefile. dp _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
