I was installing clamav 0.83 on a freebsd 5.4 system and I got the

clamav configure: error: The installed zlib version may contain a

I want to upgrade zlib to solve this but:
- I don't know how I can see what version of zlib I have at the moment?

use pkg_info|grep zlib

- I found the following advice on the freebsd site:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-05:18.zlib.asc

according to this I have to do the following:

# cd /usr/src
# patch < /path/to/patch
# cd /usr/src/lib/libz/
# make obj && make depend && make && make install

but I have no /usr/src/lib/libz/

maybe you didn't install source code when you installed your FreeBSD. You still can do it using sysinstall now.

Good luck!

Thank you Yuan

You are right I didn't install the sourcecode, the instructions make a lot more sense now :)
one other small question,  pkg_info | grep zlib
gave me the following output;

jzlib-1.0.5_1       A re-implementation of zlib in pure Java
php4-zlib-4.3.10_2  The zlib shared extension for php


so no zlib? Why is that ? because I didn't install it with pkg_add?
