 ''(I think this might be related to ticket #31154)''

 Looking at the output of port -v install clamav, it seems that the
 configure script is looking for a file /usr/bin/nidump which hasn't been
 part of OS/X since 10.5.  For some reason, the configure script run by
 MacPorts seems to trying nidump rather than dscl.

 The relevant output is
 {{{
 bash-3.2# port install clamav

 --->  Computing dependencies for clamav
 --->  Configuring clamav
 }}}

 (blah blah blah)...

 {{{

 checking for pthread_yield... no

 read the documentation !
 }}}

 Interestingly enough, I can successfully configure (./configure) and
 compile (make) from the
 /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/sysutils/clamav
 directory.  In doing this,  it seems that the configure script uses dscl
 rather than nidump.


 {{{
 bash-3.2# ./configure  | grep passwd
 rm: conftest.so.dSYM: is a directory
 checking for clamav in /etc/passwd... checking for clamav using dscl...
 yes, user clamav and group clamav
 }}}

 I'm guessing that there are some configure options being passed by the
 Portfile that are interfering, but I'm not clever enough to locate the
 problem.
