Problem updating ClamAV

[The Liquidator]

Hi

I am having difficulty upgrading Clam AV, from within the program. Basically I am able to download the update but it won't compile as it cannot find a working gcc. I have gcc3.4 and gcc4.0 installed and so don't understand this.

Has anyone any clues about this?

Not sure if this is the answer, but perhaps you need to also install the dependency package called 'gcc'. I think that will set gcc to point to the latest version you have installed on your system.

Thanks for that. I installed plain old gcc.

The error message from within the clam A log is now:

"***** Clamav

Any clues please?

Anything interesting in the end part of config.log?
