I'm also wondering if you're new to Linux and ClamAV, perhaps your distro has a package that can be more simply installed? Does your distro's package manager show that ClamAV is available for install?
A lot can be learned from installing SW from source (sometimes some great feature/performance enhancement too!), but there's also a short path to dependency hell and other possible problems.
