Hi, you you have gcc 2.95 or less, then forget about compiling it. You will get any sort of compilation errors. Working them around is not trivial BTW. If you can somehow get a gcc 3.x installed then you should be able to compile clamav without major problems. Old libraries should link ok (although most of them are probably exploitable), with the exception of libmilter. If you don't need clamav-milter that shouldn't really bother you. -acab _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
