Yes, I'm trying to install clamav on an Openbsd 3.6 box w/ postfix,
spamassassin,etc; as per http://www.flakshack.com/anti-spam/wiki/index.php
I installed clamav-0.80 according to the instructions contained in the
"FairlySecureAnitVirusWiki" on a brand new box with OpenBSD 3.6.
Everything went well till I got the part where I Update the virus
database. Upon issuing the command from the howto i.e.;
chroot -u amavisd /var/amavisd /usr/bin/freshclam --log-verbose
the program complained it could not load, one by one the library files
contained in /var/amavisd/usr/lib. I then located each of these
librarys, copied them to /var/amavisd/user/lib and received no more
complaints about that for the time being..
The next segment of this saga was to run the chroot command again as
above and this time the program informed me that it "Can't change dir to
/var/clamav.
I'm currently looking for help and will report as soon as a fix is
explained to me. I just hope this is NOT a process of elimination, line
by line in the code.
