How to install latest Clamav (v0.93-0.2) on openSUSE 10.3

I will try to describe how I manage to get the final version (0.93-0.2) of
ClamAV running AT LAST today, after living a whole nightmare, to finally get
it up and running.

Well at least until the official package has been released, for OS 10.3. Ok,
here I go...

1) The first step is to uninstall any previous version you have installed.
Apparently YaST2 (if you installed ClamAV v0.92 from there) leaves traces
behind, so this will not be enough.

There are some serious library issues around yet with the new version, if
you dont believe me, just check the
[url=http://www.nabble.com/clamav-users-f16463.html]ClamAV Forums[/url] to
check how many people using different distros, are complaining about the
lots of problem they are having to making to work ClamAV v0.93-0.2, even
when there is is available a RPM for their specific distro.

2) I had to install from SOURCE the earlier version (0.92.1) to uninstall it
latter. And only by doing this I really erased all the traces behind, to
prepare the system to a fresh installation.

So just make the traditional install process when installing from sources.
Once the source package has been uncompressed:

./configure
make
make install

Then proceed to uninstall it

./configure
make
make uninstall

Ok now grab the RPM released for openSUSE 10.3 (maintained by Reinhard Max)
from here:

ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/clamav/clamav-0.93/10.3-i386 i386
or
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/clamav/clamav-0.93/10.3-x86_64 x64

... depending on your architecture.

3) Now you can finally proceed to install the RPM package, as usual

rpm -ivlh <package-name>

4) Reboot your machine (this was really important, I read somewhere that it
was recommended to restart the services, but since I didn't know what
services, how to restar them, I prefered to reboot the PC)

5) Now try to update the virus database by running:

freshclam

Ok, now you are done, even when you possibly will receive a warning like
this, at the end of the process:
Hope this little guide helps some guys, to have their AVs updated.

PD: If someone knows how to solve the WARNING issue shown in step 5), please
let me know, how to bypass/solve this problem.

Re: Clamd 0.93 100%CPU during startup for 2 Minutes [In reply to]

Hi,

after upgrading from 0.92 my clamd 0.93 often needs about 2 minutes for startup, during which I have 100% CPU utilization on my P4, 2.8GHz.
Here some excerpt from logs:

I can see what's taking the 2 minutes. It's a little unclear to me as
to why that happens on startup but not reload.

Re: Clamd 0.93 100%CPU during startup for 2 Minutes [In reply to]

100% CPU also happens after update of db using freshclam. However, it does not happen immediately, but during first usage of clamd after the update.
I am using clamd together with dansguardian, so dansguardian is waiting for about 2-3 minutes for clamd to complete after usage of freshclam.

Can you post excerpts the clamav and freshclam logs for the period
associated with the above?

Reiner,
I am not sure why your engine is taking sooooo long to load the
signatures. My system which is Fedora Core 8, is taking only 8 seconds:
Fri May 16 19:10:32 2008 -> WARNING: Database has changed, loading
updated database
LibClamAV Error: cl_cvdhead: Can't open file
/var/lib/clamav/daily.inc/daily.info
Fri May 16 19:10:39 2008 -> Loaded ClamAV version 0.93, clamav-milter
version 0.93
Fri May 16 19:10:39 2008 -> ClamAV: Protecting against 288170 viruses
Fri May 16 19:10:40 2008 -> Database correctly reloaded (288170 viruses)

Can you send me your config.log file? Mine is 92K but compresses to 13K.
I think you can attach files to the reply but if not.....send it to me
directly. I want to see what options were selected for configure and see
if that points to anything.

Jim
