Gerard,
It sounds to me like you need the dev package.
In Debian this is called libclamav-dev, probably it's called the same in Linux Mint.

Clamav-Plugin on Linux Mint 9 - Clamav 0.96.1. Installation worked well but when I try to load clamav.so I get : /usr/lib/claws-mail/plugins/clamav.so: undefined symbol: cl_load.

Some help would be appreciated. Thank you.

On 15 April 2010 all ClamAV installations older than 0.95 will be disabled.

To build the plugin on Ubuntu 9.04: - install libclaws-mail-dev libclamav-dev and libenchant-dev - use the following configure line: 'CLAMAV_LIBS'="-L/usr/lib -lz -L/usr/lib -lbz2 -ltommath" CLAMAV_CFLAGS="-I/usr/include -Wall -g -O2" ./configure (don't rely on pkg-config, but use CLAMAV_LIBS and CLAMAV_CFLAGS as provided by /usr/bin/clamav-config --libs --cflags)

You need to install the libclaws-mail-dev 3.4.0-2 package.

Yes it did help. Except now I get the following error(s):

checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking for CLAWS_MAIL... configure: error: Package requirements (claws-mail >= 3.3.0.7) were not met:

No package 'claws-mail' found

Consider adjusting the PKGCONFIGPATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables CLAWSMAILCFLAGS and CLAWSMAILLIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.

ok doke. I do have claws-mail 3.4.0-2. installed. What should I set those env variables to?

You've come to the right place to ask this question.

autoconf isn't the problem, I have the same version. It seems to be a problem with gettext support. Do you have the gettext and gettext-base packages installed? If you don't care about internationalization, you can use ./configure --disable-nls.

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks for doing this. Not tryin to be 'funny' ;-) I appreciate your help. I get an error:

./configure: line 21738: syntax error near unexpected token '0.15' ./configure: line 21738: 'AMGNUGETTEXT_VERSION(0.15)'

What do I do to fix it? (debian pkg from testing: autoconf 2.61-7 is what I have installed.) Hopefully this is the correct place to post this if not please pardon my intrusion.
