The FC5 repository for clamav-0.90 includes an SRPM and in addition, he also keeps a copy of the spec file there: http://crash.fce.vutbr.cz/crash-hat/5/clamav/ Since there may be some RH/FC specific init files, etc., I'd start with the SRPM file (clamav-0.90-1.src.rpm). Install this, then use the spec file to build for FC6 (rpmbuild -bb clamav.spec). -Bill _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
