First post to the Clamav list.
I have Clamav 0.88.2 installed from source on an OSX client machine.
I want to upgrade to 0.88.4.
Now, usually when I upgrade Clamav, I back up the clamd.conf and
freshclam.conf
files and cd to the old clamav source folder. From there I run
'make uninstall' and all
is well.
The problem is, somebody deleted the old clamav source folder so
'make uninstall' is
no longer possible. (I presume this is correct).
To manually remove clamav from the system, what are ALL the
relevant files I should
be looking for ??
Much Thanks,
Robert.
Damn - hit the send button too soon.
When as in your case the previous build is gone you have to go
looking for bits and pieces. In my case this is /usr/local and
there are parts in lib, bin, sbin, and man. They should all have
the same date so it should be fairly easy to locate them.
I shut down Clamav, rm /usr/local/lib/*clam*. The man pages and
binaries will be over written by the next install but I remove the
libs manually because crazy things can happen with lib versioning
that allows them to survive new installs.
I preserve the /usr/local/etc/clamd.conf and freshclam.conf files
but examine the new ones for differences.

Thanks for the info but I've had a 'rare' thought.
When running './configure' for clamav is there not an option to tell
it to compile / build / install
WITHOUT it actually writing any files to disk ??
Would this not give you a list of files and where they would be
installed relevant
to your particular system ??
Forgive me if I'm way off here.
Robert.
