Obviously. You need to uninstall the previous version before running an upgrade. If you have no idea where the previous version's files are then you need to study the installation procedure more because your post suggests you likely don't know where the new files went. To help some, perform a make uninstall in the new version's build directory. Then use find to locate other older clam parts: find / -name \*clam\* -ls Once you know where they are you can use ls -lt to produce a time-sorted list of files in the directories revealed by the find command. Chances are fair that any files created at a particular time on the same date having "clam" in the file name would be files of interest. On my systems the clamav libraries always contain the word clam in the file names. Once you have found all the files and moved them to a safe place from which they may be recovered if needed (as opposed to deleting them), return to the new clamav version directory and rebuild the product using more arguments to the configure tool. It will allow you to choose where you'd like to install the various files - putting you in command of your fate. You can see these options by running ./configure --help and it is recommended. What ever options you use, preserve them in a script so that you can repeat this easily for the next time you have to build clam. dp _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
