Error libclamav.so.6

Dear all,

I tried to install ClamAV to OpenSuSE 11.1. Installation progress was OK,
but got error while running :

Clambox:/usr/src # freshclam
freshclam: error while loading shared libraries: libclamav.so.6: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory
Clambox:/usr/src # clamd
clamd: error while loading shared libraries: libclamav.so.6: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

Would you advise me why the libclamav.so.6 unable to be accessed?

Thank you very much for your help

wong

Did you check that libclamav.so.6 exists?

In a terminal window go to the directory where the application is (freshclam)
and run the ldd (list dynamic dependancies) command:

ldd freshclam

This will tell you what libraries are needed and where freshclam is looking for
them. It may be necessary to use LD_LIBRARY_PATH or ldconfig to help freshclam
find the needed libraries.

I had to run ldconfig after the latest install. Whenever you see
that error, first see if the lib file exists and then run ldconfig -
et voila....

Re: Error libclamav.so.6 [In reply to]

Hi Dennis,

Here what I found

Clambox:~ # ldd /usr/local/bin/freshclam
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libclamav.so.6 => /usr/local/lib/libclamav.so.6 (0xb7ed7000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb7ed2000)
libz.so.1 => /lib/libz.so.1 (0xb7ebd000)
libresolv.so.2 => /lib/libresolv.so.2 (0xb7ea7000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7e8c000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7d30000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7fa2000)
Clambox:~ # ls /usr/local/lib/libclamav.so.6
/usr/local/lib/libclamav.so.6

FYI, after restarting SuSE the problem has gone by itself. Good result but
makes me confuse.... :(

Re: Error libclamav.so.6 [In reply to]

When you rebooted, it created the necessary link. You could have
just run ldconfig and it more than likely would have solved the
problem. From the man page:

ldconfig creates the necessary links and cache to the most recent
shared libraries found in the directories specified on the command
line, in the file /etc/ld.so.conf, and in the trusted directories
(/lib and /usr/lib). The cache is used by the run-time linker, ld.so
or ld-linux.so. ldconfig checks the header and filenames of the
libraries it encounters when determining which versions should have
their links updated.
