Avira AntiVir won't install - system platform not supported

[xq2003]

Hi everybody,

today, I tried to install AntiVir on my Ubuntu 9.10 (Kernel 2.6.31-14). As I ran the install script, the message "It is not possible to install AVIRA AntiVir Workstation (UNIX), because your system platform is not supported." I then did some research but it strangely seems that I'm the only one experiencing this problem. Is there anybody out there who has managed to install AntiVir on Karmic? Any help would be greatly appreciated :D

PS: If you wonder why I hold it necessary to install antivirus software on Ubuntu: I'm planning to install it to my Live USB to scan a friend's windows PC ;)

You know Karmic koala had linux kernel 2.6.31,but dazukofs in avira don't supposed it .I also find dazukofs3.1.1 can supposed this kernel ,I have no way install it.

Quick and dirty workaround, worked for me, ymmmv!

Go to the script folder under where you expanded the antivir program.

The problem arises because the getsysteminfo script returns linuxglibc20 as the version of libc installed in Karmic. Actually the version is not 2.1 but 2.10, but the grep test does not know that.
I just modified the script as below:

do_classification()
{
CLASS="unknown"

case "${OS}" in
linux)
CLASS=""

if [ -f "/lib/libc.so.6" ]
then
grep "C Library.*version 2.0" /lib/libc.so.6 > /dev/null
RET=$?

if [ $RET -ne 0 ]
then
grep "C Library.*version 2.1" /lib/libc.so.6 > /dev/null
# comment out the next line
#RET=$?
# add in a dummy exit code
RET=2
fi

Now try the install again.

I think there is an AVG,but I'm not sure about the support for 9.1.Don't bother with the stuff myself.

It worked, thanks a lot! I wonder how long it will take for Avira to fix it though :p

I never realized Ubuntu had a January release.
