I would suggest the following: Go to the directory you originally built 0.83 in and after backing up the /etc/<service>.conf files for clamd and freshclam then do a make uninstall, this should remove all of the old 0.83 files. Do an rpm -qa | grep clamav and see what the rpm database thinks is still installed. If it thinks the rpm is still there, then: rpm -e clamav clamav-devel should remove it. Follow that with a re-install using: rpm -ivh clamav-0.84-<whatever SuSE calls it> clamav-devel-0.84-<SuSE> to reinstall it. Look in /etc and see whether there are .rpmnew and .rpmsave files for the .conf files, then edit and adjust them as needed and restart clamd and freshclam. -- Brian Morrison bdm at fenrir dot org dot uk GnuPG key ID DE32E5C5 - http://wwwkeys.uk.pgp.net/pgpnet/wwwkeys.html _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
