Hello,
I tried to create a binary .rpm package from the clamav-0.90.tar.gz
tarball using the command 'rpmbuild -tb clamav-0.90.tar.gz' which failed
with the following errors:
Is there a .spec file available for this tarball to enable me to build a
.rpm binary under FC6 as there is no .rpm binary on the clamav
repositories (no '6' directory at all)
If not, is there any other way to build an .rpm binary package?
Installing manually is not an option. Creates too many problems at a
later date or when upgrading the distribution.
Have you considered downloading an SRPM file for an earlier distro (FC5,
FC4) and build using that spec file? Chances are, it will work
unchanged on FC6.
Hi Bill, nope, I hadn't thought of that but wouldn't I need a .src.rpm
for the 0.90 release? Do you know how to get the spec file out of the
older .src.rpm package for, say, FC5, and use it on the latest release
tarball? I know enough in this area to get by but no more.
The FC5 repository for clamav-0.90 includes an SRPM and in addition,
he also keeps a copy of the spec file there:
http://crash.fce.vutbr.cz/crash-hat/5/clamav/
Since there may be some RH/FC specific init files, etc., I'd start
with the SRPM file (clamav-0.90-1.src.rpm). Install this, then
use the spec file to build for FC6 (rpmbuild -bb clamav.spec).

Hello Bill, Thank you very much for the info. I downloaded the spec file
and both the binary and src .rpm files for 0.90. I thought that I would
see if the .rpm binary would install on FC6 first before I built from
the .src.rpm file *and it did* No longer getting the 'out of date'
warning. It seems much faster as well.
So all is well thanks to your help. Much appreciated.
