Ops, we are experiencing problems with the mailing servers and this mail
got lost. Sorry for that.

You don't give details about that so, I am suposing you are using
development version in clam version and your are trying to compile in
Ubuntu Linux. If not, just provide such details. Such information is
very important in order to report any problem. Error messages you get on
the console are also informative.

You have to install the generated plugin yourmodule.so in one of a set
of directories which NetworkEditor looks for. This is explained on the
wiki. So, where did you installed them?

And you have to place the library libclam_yourmodule.so* in a path where
it can be located. LD_LIBRARY_PATH if not standard the /usr/lib

So important: which is your install prefix? how are environment vars
defined (CLAM_PLUGIN_PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH, PKG_CONFIG_PATH...)?

The simpler solution is to link your program.  Just add your module to
the ClamModules directive.
