And as previously responded, you have 3 choices to keep the Clam software up to date if you don't want to use RPMForge: -> Wait for EPEL to update their Clamav package(s) -> Take an existing source package and rebuild for the current Clamav release -> Uninstall the packages and install straight from source (There may be other groups building addon packages for RHEL and its community rebuilds; I haven't bothered looking since RPMForge works for me.) If you absolutely have to get the current version, and you can't build from source (either straight source install or package rebuild), and you don't want to use the RPMForge package, you'll have to bug the EPEL folks for an updated package. I used to build my own packages for quite a few things before I came across Dag Wieers' efforts a number of years ago (which have since been brought under the RPMForge umbrella), and aside from some personal preference issues with how they've declared dependencies on some of the more complex Perl(-using) packages (MIMEDefang and SpamAssassin) I haven't had any issues with their packages. -kgd _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
