Hi Leonard,
I think my installation problem is solved. As I said in an earlier
mail, zlib and zlib-devel are required. Synaptic Package manager will
get those.
Uninstall any previous versions of Clamav, download the tar.gz package,
untar it, enter the clamav folder and sudo ./configure, ./make and
./make-install.
There's a bit of editing of config files required.
http://www.clamxav.com/index.php?page=byo is very useful with regard to
this.
Hope this helps.
