After upgrading Mail-ClamAV: ClamAV Perl module not found, did you install it?

[Keith Wessel]

Hello,

A little more to go on...

First, MailScanner's running as root, so it's definitely not a
permissions problem.

I went ahead and put a "require Mail::ClamAV" at the top of my
/usr/sbin/MailScanner to see what would happen, and I got the following.
Looks like the Perl module can't find libclamav.so.1 (installed under
/usr/local/lib which I added to ld.so.conf). Even with /usr/local/lib in
ld.so.conf, I still get:

         MailScanner:       Had problems bootstrapping Inline module
'Mail::ClamAV'

Can't load
'/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/Mail/ClamAV/ClamAV.so'
for module Mail::ClamAV: libclamav.so.1: cannot open shared object file:
No such file or directory at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 229.

line 188

/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/Mail/ClamAV.pm
line 532.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/sbin/MailScanner line 38.

Any thoughts from anyone on how to tell the Perl module where
libclamav.so.1 is?

Thanks,
keith
