Okay, try to cd to the /usr/lib/chkrootkit directory and then issue the 
command.  

You can also issue the command:
/usr/lib/chkrootkit/chkproc -v -v

directly as this is the command that trigers the lkm rootkit warning when it 
detects processes that are not reported by the ps command.

On some of my systems, some of the mysql processes are hidden and show up with 
this command.  Others include the monitoring daemon for my APC UPS and I 
think a couple of others have done so in the past.  Usually, when I run my 
chkrootkit process, I separately have a crond to run the chkrootkit -x lkm to 
get a listing of those hidden processes to make sure that I am not missing 
anything.  If a rootkit process is running and is hidden, you should see it 
listed there so that at least you KNOW there is a problem.

Recovering from a rootkit is non-trivial.
