I always build my own RPMs of ClamAV when new releases come out, so
I've written up a quick HOWTO for those who may find it useful.

't have version 1.10.6
of the crt lib. But it looks like it's not happy with GCC either.
When configure runs, you need to read the output and figure out what
broke. Then you fix the broken stuff and re-run. Repeat until success
or you have no hair left.

And now it's broken. So you have to fix it. Life on the edge is scary
for some sysadmins, eh?

They had 6 months to sort it out.

Sounds like it.. might be possible to check realtime too.. but the
quick blurb on the site just mentions downloading a lookup table to the
local machine.
Looks good to me tho.

No doubt some people run mail servers on OS-X that are delivering mail
to windows users, so it is possible for those people to run clam.

The mailing lists are a better vehicle for these announcements because
they can hold more information and can be stored and accessible longer.
I don't see the twitter feed adding any value.

it's in your best interests to upgrade.
from the FAQ: "In order to detect all the latest viruses, it’s not
enough to keep your database up to date. You also need to run the
latest version of the scanner."

some reason was just trying to download an old one.
I blew away everything in the /var/clamav directory, redownloaded the
main.cvd and daily.cvd from db.local.clamav.net, and ran freshclam.
Now it all seems to be ok.
I'll keep an eye on it, but it's looking happier at least. :)
Thanks ve
om db.nz.clamav.net, it just fails, waits 5 seconds, and tries
again, etc..
Is anyone else having issues downloading daily-7912.cdiff? Is this a
mirror problem, or a problem with my local cache, or something else
entirely?
Any info or help greatly appreciated.
thanks

Of course, this is usually resolved by talking to national mirrors. And
it's even better when those mirrors are up to date. :)

any other rpms so could it be a problem with my
installation? i.e. Do I need to setup the system to build rpms?
I think if you've got this far and you've got the rpmbuild binary, you
should be ok. going by what giorgio said, I've attached an updated spec
file. try this one and se
hey've all got -%{release} on the end, so don't know why you're getting
that issue. but if you unzip it yourself, and then make a symlink, you
should be ok..

I thought amavis was an alternative to clamav, thus thinking they
*weren't* using clam on their own mailing list.

looks like my attachment got clipped.
here is the SPEC file I use (with changelog snipped for brevity):
# $Id: clamav.spec 6047 2007-12-19 11:20:08Z dag $
# Authority: dag
# Upstream:
### FIXME: Sysv script does not have condrestart option (redo sysv script)
### FIXME: amavisd-new requires cla
vices (chkconfig --list|grep
clam)
we run centos 5.1 i386, but I see no reference to architecture in the
SPEC file, so it should build happily from source as is. all I ever
change is the version number and release, and it builds happily each time.
