Requirements

The following elements are required to compile ClamAV:

• zlib and zlib-devel packages
• gcc compiler suite (both 2.9x and 3.x are supported)

The following packages are optional but highly recommended:

• bzip2 and bzip2-devel library
• GNU MP 3
  It's very important to install the GMP package because it allows freshclam to verify the digital signatures of the virus databases. If freshclam was compiled without GMP support it will display "SECURITY WARNING: NO SUPPORT FOR DIGITAL SIGNATURES" on every update. You can download GNU MP at http://www.swox.com/gmp/
  A note for Solaris/SPARC users: you must set the ABI system variable to 32 (e.g. setenv ABI 32) before running the configuration script of GMP.
