[clamav-users] newbie: can't get clamd started

[Anthony Griffiths]

thanks for your response. I'm running clamav on centos 7 on a
raspberry pi and epel is not supported on the pi version, thats why I
had to install from source.
I should have also mentioned I'm using clamav with mimedefang only to
filter malware out of my mail, no other reason.
so my next question is do I have to uninstall version clamav-0.101.4
before I install a newer version? or could I just install a newer
version over the top?
I haven't been using centos 7 that long and unfortunately most of the
google results about clamav are to do with centos 6.
