Note: after the last reinstallation, I cannot run the scan tests, contrary to what I said below.

Then I updated the database and started seeing duplicate start messages and a warning to update. So I updated to 0.96.3. Now I cannot establish a tcp connection. I can run the scan tests, but no joy from my GUI or command line client. I installed this from source, followed the uninstall directions and installed (twice uninstalled and installed now). I ran /configure --disable-clamav prior to make and make install. 7 tests ran successfully, 5 were not run. Incidentally, the 0.96.3 install kept giving me the bzip2 message and even though I found instructions that said it's okay to install anyway, there was no joy with that version, so I tried to move back to 0.962 using a tar left on my machine from an earlier installation. The 0.96.3 source installation would continue to behave badly, not able to make /lib dirs and even trying to put a Microsoft dir on there. I would assume the default download was not Windows specific but who knows. I went with the prior version which I thought was tried and true. Now I feel my clamd installation and system are hopelessly screwed up. Can anyone speak to how to recover from a bad upgrade and virus definition update? The documentation is not helping. Thanks. Sorry to sound so frustrated, but I've sunk an entire day on this and I have a deadline of Thursday. ..\Wendy Wendy Bossons Web Developer MIT Libraries Technology Research and Development 77 Masachusetts Avenue Cambridge, MA 02139-4307 617-253-0770 wboss...@mit.edu<mailto:wboss...@mit.edu> _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
