[clamav-users] Problem configuring clamav-0.99

Wed Dec 16 22:26:38 UTC 2015

Ali,

Please look in your config.log file for Structure packing. Do you have the
same or similar error?

configure:20381: checking that structure packing works
configure:20438: gcc -o conftest -g -O2  -I/opt/pcre837/include
-L/opt/pcre837/lib -lpcre conftest.c -ldl  >&5
conftest.c:147: warning: 'packed' attribute ignored for field of type 'char'
configure:20438: $? = 0
configure:20438: ./conftest
./conftest: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.1: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

This is the conftest for "structure packing" failing because it cannot link
to the pcre shared library. If this is the case, I can suggest looking into
using ldconfig or setting the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to
resolve the link issue, and then configure ClamAV.

Hope this helps,
Steve
