Hi Paul,
     Thanks you very much for mail and the patch. I will put this patch in the example code and test it.

Best regards,

This sound like the problem I had a few weeks ago, where HAVP's use of

libclamav didn't work, reporting "out of memory".



The problem turned out to be that libclamav's initialization mechanism

didn't itself initialize OpenSSL, which ClamAV now (unfortunately) needs.



The following patch to HAVP worked for me, and might be a guide to

fixing your use of libclamav:



  diff -c  clamlibscanner.cpp  clamlibscanner.cpp.orig

  *** clamlibscanner.cpp

  --- clamlibscanner.cpp.orig

  ***************

  *** 27,40 ****

        if (LL>2) cl_debug();

  

    #ifdef CL_INIT_DEFAULT

  - 

  -     /* PRK 6 Jul 2014 - added to work around ClamAV change */

  -     if ( (ret = cl_initialize_crypto()) != 0 )

  -     {

  -         printf("ClamAV: cl_initialize_crypto() error: %s\n", cl_strerror(ret));

  -         return false;

  -     }

  - 

        if ( (ret = cl_init(CL_INIT_DEFAULT)) != CL_SUCCESS )

        {

            printf("ClamAV: cl_init() error: %s\n", cl_strerror(ret));
