The RPMs should create the directories with the correct permissions, and what you[ ]
Mike,
Use the init script that's installed with the RPMs to start clamd (/etc/init.d/clamd). It sets the home directory and tmpdir prior to starting clamd. Typically, this will be /var/lib/clamav or /var/lib/amavis if running amavisd. Since you started it as root, it is trying to make the tmp directory under /root, but since by default clamd is running under user "clamav", it doesn't have permission to create that directory.

$ /usr/sbin/clamd ERROR: Problem with internal logger. Please check the permissions on the /var/log/clamav/clamd.log file
$ ls -al total 16 drwxr-xr-x 2 clamav clamav 4096 Apr 13 16:36 ./ drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 Apr 13 15:04 ../ -rw-r----- 1 clamav clamav 231 Apr 13 16:37 clamd.log -rw-r----- 1 clamav clamav 1664 Apr 13 19:27 freshclam.log
Now, how to set the permissions ??? chmod 666 ?????
have above looks right. Try doing what I suggested the first time and start clamd from
the init script. As root:
# /etc/init.d/clamd start
