That way, if there's a mistake, the damage should be limited. > Am receiving same error at end of 'make' when compiling from source > 0.92rc2 or 0.91.2 so points to an issue on my server but my linux > skills are not good enough to fix it :-( > > Box is Debian 3.1... If you're using Debian, why not use the Debian packages? It's _much_ easier to keep on top of things using 'apt-get' update/upgrade than it is to do everything yourself. My personal preference is not to do it that way, but if you use Debian then it tends to make it harder to do everything by yourself. So I'd say either use Debian and its packages (which I do for a few desktop systems and backup servers) or else don't use it and do things the long way around (which I do for most servers). > This box is in production.

It's not an identical twin, obviously. :) -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
