Is zlib 1.2.4 really significantly more processor intensive than 1.2.3?  It is rather trivial to install from http://www.zlib.net/fossils/

Micah said earlier that 1.2.3 cannot be used with ClamAV 100.x and I suspect your hardware won't support using zlib 1.2.4 or above, so you will either need that new box or roll ClamAV back to an earlier version.

Two things (each item is a bit long), with two questions/comments at the bottom:

1. I don't think zlib-devel is installed:

[root at centos include]# rpm -ql zlib-devel

2. 32-bit CPU data:
[root at centos include]# lscpu |grep "CPU op-mode"

Could the fact zlib-devel is NOT installed be my issue?

Also, it looks like my hardware will not support Centos 7 so I'm guessing need to procure a new
box.

I think this answers all the outstanding queries you asked for Micah.  My thanks for the support.

Jay


On CentOS you should be able to check with: `yum info zlib-devel`

Alternatively, take a peek in /usr/include/zlib.h for the line starting with:
#define ZLIB_VERSION
