Software :: Can't Update To The Latest Version Of Clamav On Suse 11.1

Im currently trying to update my Suse 11.1 copy of Linux.

I got some messages that Clamav was not up to date.

I tried to use YUM which I installed on the machine but that did nothing.

It seems that I can only update Clamav by using Klamav.

Whats happening is that the system is telling me that its going to recompile Clamav, starts doing various tasks but doesnt really work.

When I use YUM on my CentOS 5.3 server it simply updates Clamav to the current version and then I use Freshclam to update the virus definitionsdone.

My questions is this; is there anyway to get the latest version of Clamav without going through the that Klamav thing. Klamav seems O.K. for updating the virus definitions but thats all.

Whats wrong with all the Linux software people?

Cant they just get their act together and make their software work. Im also trying to set up a mail server on my Suse 11.1 box but between figuring out how to install Postfix, Dovecot, Cirus-IMAP Im not getting anywhere.

As much as I hate to say this, these things only seem to be rocket science on Linux. I have much less problems installing software on Windoz.

Linux software people need to come up with workable install programs for their software products so more people who arent software experts can make Linux really workable.
