Why are you installing 0.83, the latest is 0.87.1 as of now. 0.83 is so
old that it will be very ineffective in comparison and fail to identify
many current malwares.

Hello,

I'm new to clam av, but I tried installing version 0.83 this morning as
per the instructions in the manual.

When I start it up I get:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# clamdscan
ERROR: Please edit the example config file /etc/clamd.conf.
ERROR: Can't parse the configuration file.

--- SCAN SUMMARY ---
Infected files: 0
Time: 0.000 sec (0 m 0 s)

I do the obvious checks - and I  had previously edited /etc/clamd.conf

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ls /etc/clamd.conf
/etc/clamd.conf
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ls -l /etc/clamd.conf
-rw-r--r--1 clamav   clamav   8133 Dec  9 13:33 /etc/clamd.conf
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# chmod 755 /etc/clamd.conf [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ls -l
/etc/clamd.conf
-rwxr-xr-x1 clamav   clamav   8133 Dec  9 13:33 /etc/clamd.conf*
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# clamdscan
ERROR: Please edit the example config file /etc/clamd.conf.
ERROR: Can't parse the configuration file.

and so on 

I've checked the list archives and I can't find any pointers to this
particular error. ClamAV is built from sources on College Linux, a
Slackware variant and appears to compile cleanly

Any ideas?

-Doug
