install-Clam-0.91.1-SA-3.2.1.tar.gz configure error

[Julian Field]

Just to settle this one.
I'm not going to take into account any libraries you may or may not have 
installed that you may need to install ClamAV or SpamAssassin, with the 
exception of perl modules. There are loads of libraries it uses, most of 
which any random system will probably have installed. In your case, you 
are missing one, I am not going to make the install.sh check for the 
existence of every single one in an OS-independent way, just so that I 
can tell you what the ClamAV installation process told you anyway.

My installers pause at various important points, to give you a chance to 
stop the output and read any errors it produced. I don't see that I can 
reasonably do much more, without making it very OS-specific, which I'm 
not doing.

Sorry guys.
