Hi, I am experiencing a problem running clamav on an OpenBSD machine.  Apache 
comes chrooted by default (a configuration I want to keep) therefore when the 
apache user tries to scan a file it finds that no executable named clamscan or 
clamdscan is inside the chroot.  Now I've tried to copy/synlink the 
executable(s) and the dependent files under the chroot and execute the scan 
however in my debug log file I always get:

UploadBase::detectVirus: running virus scan: /usr/local/bin/clamdscan 
--no-summary '/tmp/phpqkflgiwo' 2>&1
wfShellExec: /usr/local/bin/clamdscan --no-summary '/tmp/phpqkflgiwo' 2>&1
Possibly missing executable file: /usr/local/bin/clamdscan --no-summary 
'/tmp/phpqkflgiwo' 2>&1
UploadBase::detectVirus: failed to scan /tmp/phpqkflgiwo (code 127).

If I could just tell clamdscan to talk with the clamd socket that would be nice 
but it doesn't appear to be practical.  It looks like installing clamav inside 
the chroot path should help but it isn't working as I had hoped.  I made a test 
php script that executes the shell command that mediawiki does (from the 
wfShellExec function in GlobalFunctions.php) and directly put the desired 
command for a test file within the chroot and it still behaves the same way 
when invoked directly on the command line "php test.php".  If someone has any 
suggestions on how to get these programs to work together I'd like to see them. 
 Thanks in advance!
