After doing a 'make distclean' in the mimedefang install directory, the
./configure finally recognized clamav and clamd. So I then did a make
and make install and all is well after a reboot. It detected a virus
and rejected the email.

Here is where I got the idea from:

Thanks to googling.

BTW, what is the 'make distclean' option? I realized that it had
something to do with cleaning out old object files or something, but I
could not find it for the life of me in man of make. I thought there
was some sort of 'make clean', but where can I find the man pages on
'clean' or 'distclean'?
