[clamav-users] Problem with ClamAV 0.98.4 - HAVP won't load CVD files

[Paul Kosinski]

Shawn,

Yes indeed, HAVP calls into libclamav directly.  But then why does this
only fail in 0.98.4 but *not* in 0.98.3?  Wasn't OpenSSL already being
used in 0.98.3?

An additional problem is that the HAVP developer seems to have stopped
working on it, according to the HAVP forum (http://havp.hege.li/forum/).
Of course, since HAVP is Open Source, I could change it for my use
(but I don't want to take it over).

Thanks for the quick response,
Paul
