I have install clamav 0.96.5 from my ubuntu 10.04 repository but I want to upgrade to 0.97.5
Your problem is not unique as I had the same problem for months with Debian Lenny. Attempts to upgrade from Lenny to Squeeze (with a test machine) ended in disaster. ;( Anyway, with Debian Lenny, I didn't have to uninstall any Debian packages and if I did I would loose the files in /etc/init.d/clamav-*. The key for me is to figure out where to put all the clamav-0.97.x.tar.gz files so that Debian Lenny can find them. Luckily, Debian Lenny is fairly "Linux Standard Base" complaint: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Standard_Base As an example, in Debian Lenny, clamd.conf is in /etc/clamav/; but the tar.gz with ./configure would place the said file in /usr/src/.... With that in mind, here is how I did it (and copied from my earlier post, quote): To solve the problem (as root) My bad! I know! 1. Make sure you have zlib-devl, gcc and make (I use gcc-4.3): # aptitude -y install zlib1g-dev gcc-4.3 make 2. Download the latest (July 2012) stable source: # cd /usr/src && wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/clamav/files/clamav/0.97.5/clamav-0.97.5.tar.gz 3. Decompress: # cd /usr/src && tar xvzf clamav-0.97.5.tar.gz 4. Complie with make # cd /usr/src/clamav-0.97.5 && ./configure –sysconfdir=/etc/clamav –exec_prefix=/usr && make && make install 5. Once complete: # /etc/init.d/clamav-daemon restart Please note: the key to a successful install in Debian is in No. 4 above by telling ./configure with the correct sys-config-directory and exec_prefix. Good luck please report back if the above procedure works with ubuntu 10.04? That’s it! Cheers!
