And I wonder still if as delivered it can be built statically. Obviously if it is only dynamically linked it will not survive a ClamAV upgrade. At no time did I mention using clamd as a option. It was such a simple question. A simple answer might have been "it [ can | cannot ] be linked statically". The answer to my question was rtfm which I attempted to do, mind you. The answer to the question I did not ask was "use clamd". I can use clamd now without this product. The author of the product explained courteously the limitations he has supporting this tool and I thanked him and opted to look further when time permits. dp _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
