For a couple of days after 0.97.5 was known to exist, it was not actually posted to the web page. Even after the hyperlink title was changed, the older version was still what downloaded. Double check to make certain what
you downloaded was "clamav-0.97.5.tar.gz".

I've double checked that it is clamav-0.97.5.tar.gz with the new VRT signature and not the Tomaz signature. I also checked it I was compiling from the clamav-0.97.5 directory and check it was compiling correctly. I've been using clamav since 2004 so I've been doing the same thing for awhile several systems including this RHEL 5.1 that I have been running since 2008 and updated by Red Hat weekly. Again I used the same clamav-0.97.5.tar.gz file for my MacBookPro and other older Linux systems no problem. This first time I ever seen this on RHEL 5.1.

You state you are using Epel, does that download complete .rpm files or source files? If Epel uses .rpm binary files, then you should stop the daemons and do remove using rpm.

If you built 0.97.4 from source, then you did the correct thing with make uninstall after you should stop the daemons first.

Other than that, dp's suggestions are the next step. I know for a fact, due to running Redhat derivatives, that the RPM locations are different from the standard Clamav source build locations. And not realizing that made the change from packaged RPMs to building my own involved some investigation into locations and then standardizing based on what I wanted to do with the source building.

If you have been using the rpm files and want to continue doing so using the latest source, you can build your own rpm file using rpmbuild and a spec file.

I did check again and it appears that it that clamav-0.97.4 was installed in /usr/local/bin rather than the normal /usr/bin that I selected so when I did a freshclam the path /usr/local/bin was before /usr/bin so it saw the older version. Sorry for the fuss. I need to check what happened why is there a copy of clamav-0.97.4 in /usr/local/bin but it works correctly now.
