Right list.

I never compile it with curl (not needed for scanning email and never following
links) so I don't know if this is a known error.

The message really means that the directory does not exist, so yes you should
worry since nothing is going to work (i.e. the programs will not create the
directory) until you create it yourself... or if you already had clamav
installed then you should specify the database location in both configuration
files (clamd.conf and freshclam.conf) since you chose not to use the
configuration parameter for building.
