That means that HAVP will need to either initialize OpenSSL prior to calling the cl_init() function in libclamav, or it will need to call cl_initialize_crypto() prior to calling cl_init(). We have an open bug on our end to track this issue (bugzilla bug 11037). Additionally, a bug report should be opened with HAVP to document the issue on their end. I will be discussing with the team soon potential solutions going forward.
