Re: [clamav-users] Compiling and installing from an NFS mount

As in administrator I would be very afraid to automate the installation or updating of any software. Are you doing many machines? If so, and they all use the same OS, why not build on one, and just distribute the build to all the others? Just sharing :) From: deha...@drever.be To:

Bojoure! You are referencing root ( / ) as the library directory. Not sure what -libdir is for but I am pretty sure you should not be building to the root directory. Try changing it to --libdir=/usr/lib or --libdir=/usr/local/lib which are the traditional locations. Shawn From:
