Yes, I used a binary installation. I’ve never figured out how to use Brew. So many incomprehensible error messages. Sorry.

In any event, I’ve got the permissions issue with the freshclam.log sorted.

But, I’m still having problems with clamd and some files in: ~/Library/

I’m getting numerous error messages like:

/Users/mnewman/Library/Calendars: lstat() failed: Operation not permitted. ERROR

I don’t really know, but I’m guess that clamd uses lstat() to examine symbolic links. It was working pre-Mojave, but fails now.

Is there anything I can do about this?
