F-Prot for Linux is a free command line antivirus scanner. A couple of frontends have been written to go with it, providing more user-friendly GUIs (e.g. QtFProt and XFprot). F-Prot and QtFprot can be downloaded using Synaptic/Adept. XFProt can be downloaded from the developer's web site.
The Problem
We compile XFProt
{{{ tar -zxvf xfprot-xx.tar.gz (xx being the file version we downloaded) sudo ./configure sudo make sudo make install (or checkinstall) }}}
and then try to launch the program by typing
xfprot
in the command line, at which point we get the following error message:
{{{ xfprot: starting... xfprot: process is not dumpable xfprot: private dir found xfprot: good...private dir is not a link xfprot: set_dir_properties_and_cd_in() xfprot: setting permissions of private dir to 0700 xfprot: setting owner of private dir xfprot: chdir to private dir xfprot: check_for_bin() xfprot: access(): /usr/local/f-prot/f-prot: No such file or directory xfprot: dialog_window() }}}
and
{{{ /usr/local/f-prot/f-prot File not found! Aborting... }}}
The Reason
Ubuntu installs F-Prot for Linux by default in /usr/lib/f-prot/ but XFProt looks for it in /usr/local/f-prot
The Solution
Create a symbolic link:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/f-prot/ /usr/local
and try again
sudo xfprot
(NB Run it as superuser if you want the scan engine to have access to restricted folders during the analysis)
Hope it works for you!
