Once you have created the clamav user and group, please extract the archive:
<PRE>
$ zcat clamav-x.yz.tar.gz | tar xvf -
$ cd clamav-x.yz
</PRE>
Assuming you want to install the configuration files in /etc, configure
the package as follows:
<PRE>
$ ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc
</PRE>
Currently <I>gcc</I> is required for to compile ClamAV.
<PRE>
$ make
$ su -c "make install"
</PRE>
In the last step software is installed in the /usr/local directory
and the config file goes to /etc. <B>WARNING: Never enable the SUID
or SGID bits in Clam AntiVirus binaries.</B>
