Well, I understand that it is literally optional - you can compile clamav without it. However, since freshclam kicks up giant warnigs without it, it is effectively required. Is there some reason not to just make it required? Does some platform that clamav wants to support not also support libgmp? Just sort of curious - it seems like more work than is necessary to reinvent the wheel. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | BOFH excuse #149: Dew on the telephone | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | lines. | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------
