(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Greetings,

I'm referencing my other post, but maybe it's more appropriate here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=82963

Basically I did install Clamav, but I am trying to add it to the menu/desktop, trying to figure out how to update it, and wondering why it spits out warnings when I run it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks for the post, but I've tried the link from clamav already and it doesn't have a puppy link. I checked the youtube video and it doesn't list the URL where it got the latest pet version.

I'm using Wary 5.3 if that helps.

Thanks!

The latest version for WARY clamav-0.97.3-w-20111019.pet

Options for compiling in WARY are shown here http://puppylinux.org/wikka/clamav

Fresh version of program is here http://www.clamav.net/lang/en/download/sources/

I have that one installed, but when I run it, clamav complains that it's outdated and that it needs 0.97.6, but when I run that (0.97.6) it says I need GLIBC_2.15.

I don't know what that is - or if I can install it. I'm still a noob, but getting better.

clamav-0.97.6-up-20120924.pet is for PuppyPrecise

Oh I see - so just disregard that message?

Do you know when an updated one will be made for Wary 5.3?

Hi,

I don't know who made the clamav-0.97.6-up-20120924.pet or if it was pre-configured.

You may want to read my previous post http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=57630 which contained a bit of information on the last version I compiled for Puppy Linux 5.2.8.

NOTE: The version I compiled had pre configured conf files. If that isn't done ClamAV will report errors when you run it from the terminal.

ClamAV is a command line application, that's why you don't get an icon. You could make one, and possibly link it to a bash script to both update and run it. I've never written a bash script I just run it from the terminal. There is no GUI but It isn't hard to use. That may be more than your user would want to do, so maybe Avast might be a better choice.

Basically, a "pet" is a package containing a compiled version of a program. Usually, they have to be compiled for your system, which happens to be Wary.

The puppy packages are here Index of ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/ This is an index of everything that is available, including other versions of puppy. You can download pets, iso files, libs etc for various versions.

That pet of ClamAV is not there. You've been pointed to the source and compiling for Wary but your probably not quite ready to compile it yourself is my guess. I can give you a bit of help with that if you want to try. However let me track down the clamav-0.97.6-up-20120924.pet and see if it can be used with Wary. It may just need configuring.

Ok the URL for the 0.97.6 pet is http://puppylinux.org/wikka/clamav

I notice that they give the compile line used to make the pet package. You wouldn't need that unless you were compiling the package yourself.

Ok, the pet is for this version of Puppy Linux http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=03063 which is why the pet is telling you its missing a lib file. I'd install Precise Puppy 5.4, and then install the pet. You'll be up to date that way.
