The folks I get work from require that I have an anti-virus program, and 
that I send screenshots of the results of a scan each week. On Ubuntu 
I've been using clamtk to run clamav. I've just gone through the process 
of installing all the prerequisites for clamav and clamtk, including 
running freshclam. Clamtk shows up in Applications > System. When I 
click on it, nothing appears. I tried running it from the command line 
and got:

root at ENU-2:~# clamtk
Can't locate Glib.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Glib module) 
(@INC contains: /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl 
/usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .) at 
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/ClamTk/Analysis.pm line 14.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at 
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/ClamTk/Analysis.pm line 14.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/bin/clamtk line 22.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/clamtk line 22.
root at ENU-2:~#

That tells me there is another prerequisite, Glib.pm. But it's not clear 
to me which glib thing I need. There are several when I search on glib 
in Slackbuilds. Is there something in the error message that I should be 
able to use to tell me what I'm missing?
