[clamav-users] new clamav definitions arent working with current install

[99r c]

I have ClamAV engine 0.99.2 installed and it no longer works with currently provided definitions
is there some way to reformat the currently downloaded definition so they will work in this older environment?

(I have tried to upgrade my PCRE version but to no avail I am running RHEL 5.5 which I cannot upgrade for reasons I wont go into)

[root at wclceste5 pcre]# clamscan -v
LibClamAV Error: cli_pcre_compile: PCRE compilation failed at offset 20: unrecognized character after (?<
LibClamAV Error: cli_pcre_build: failed to build pcre regex
