I'm no coder or developer, just curious...

Using OSX 10.5.1 client and Clamav -0.92 here's what I found....
In the clamav source folder, edit the 'configure' file.

Find and change these lines:

         clamavuser=`/usr/bin/nidump passwd . |grep ${clamav_user}`
         clamavgroup=`/usr/bin/nidump group . |grep ${clamav_group}`

To these lines:

         clamavuser=`/usr/bin/dscl . -list /Users |grep ${clamav_user}`
         clamavgroup=`/usr/bin/dscl . -list /Groups |grep $ 
{clamav_group}`

After doing this it installed nicely for me.

I also hit the GCC bug issue but got round it by installing
GCC 3.3 from the 10.5 installer disc, (optional installs folder).

I haven't FULLY tested it yet but a simple ' clamscan -i / ' worked.

Hope this helps and a happy new year to all.

Robert.
