Problem with BitDefender
 

Hi all, I installed BitDefender-Console-Antivirus-7.0.1-3.linux-gcc3x on a friend's FC4 machine. I have two problems here: 1st: when I run 'bdc --update' I get the following error: 'Error: can't find update dll'. 2nd: when I try to scan the machine for viruses I get this error: 'Error: core initialization failed: Libfn initialization failed'. The weird thing is that I have bitdefender installed on my machine which also has FC4 and I have no problems there. Does anyone know how to solve this problem??
Thanks in advance.

You need to install the compat-libstdc++-33 package, try the following command:

yum install compat-libstdc++-33

Best Regards

Thanks, I'll try it.

Hi,

I have the same problem with Bitdefender under fedora Core 5.

Installing compat-libstdc++-33 did not help!

Any other ideas?

I'm not sure because I haven't tried installing BitDefender on FC5, but you could try clamav (it was available in FC4 yum repositories, I guess it's still available in FC5). Try 'yum install clamav clamav-data'

I've got it!

The proble was in SELinux parameters!
Enabling the folowing feature fixed the problem:

Modify SELinux Policy -> Compatibility -> Allow the use of shared libraries with Text Relocation

It seams that there are some issues with different standard libraries versions and SELinux is extra paranoid about them:-)
