Ouch. Did this clamconf binary come from a package?? What's the output of clamconf -V ?

It looks like the arguments given to 'configure' were broken when the binary was built. There should have been whitespace between the last two options, so you would have had the prefix value given by '--prefix=/usr/' and the sysconfdir value given by '--sysconfdir=/etc/clamav/' but they've somehow been run into a single value for "--prefix" which as you might expect isn't going to work too well. If your clamd was built in the same way then all bets are off. It should probably be rebuilt from scratch.
I found an old clamd binary that now seems to work. We will see!
What version? How old? If it's a very old version of clamd there may be issues with some of the more recent signatures - not to mention the potential for vulnerabilities which have been published. Also if you use an old clamd you will probably need old libraries to support it. ldd /path/to/old/clamd will tell you about the libraries that your old clamd expects to find. -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list clamav-users@lists.clamav.net https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/Cisco-Talos/clamav-documentation https://docs.clamav.net/#mailing-lists-and-chat
