The only reason it is sensitive to old libraries is that people often seem to do a make install of a new version without doing a make uninstall of the old version first. If they have changed the location of the various files, this tends to leave old libraries in places earlier in the path that get used in preference. This is one reason why I've always built ClamAV using checkinstall or similar, or I've used one of the various RPM packages either self built or part of the distro in use. There's no magic involved here, but if you use an OS without packages it's best to be very careful and consistent in how you install and update. -- Brian Morrison bdm at fenrir dot org dot uk GnuPG key ID DE32E5C5 - http://wwwkeys.uk.pgp.net/pgpnet/wwwkeys.html _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
