Ron;

I saw this thread rather late. At least I think it may be late for your needs. Anyway,
I ran into the same problem with Clam 0.81 and now with 0.82. I noticed that it did
not happen on all my servers (we are now manging 6 separate sites), which run FC1, FC2
and RH7.2 and RH9. On RH9 and RH7.2 it complains about al old version of curl as well.
Even on 2 machines which are supposedly up to date with yum (with some differences
that are supposedly not zlib related) I got different results. One one it complained,
on the other it configured. So I decided, but I may be completely wrong, that this was
not a very serious problem and used the --disable-version-check or someting like that
which configre suggests. I have not had any problems (yet). I suggest you try this out
as a quick fix.

Miguel
