Getting Eset's Nod32 antivirus working in Gentoo.
My installation of Eset's Nod32 anti-virus seemed to go off without a
hitch but when I attempt to run the program (either by clicking the
icon on the menu or executing it from the CLI) nothing happens. I
mean, the process executes and blocks input from the command line, and
it appears on a list of running processes, but there's no sign of it
DOING anything. No windows or error messages or dialog boxes or
anything.
I contacted Eset about this and it seems my distro, Gentoo, isn't
a supported platform (surprise!) so they're no help. I'm running a
recent version of KDE Plasma on Gentoo 64-bit, if it matters.
*solved*
I had to execute the esets daemon manually before running the main program. The daemon is something like /opt/eset/esets/sbin/esets_daemon. That's off the top of my head, I forget the exect path. But once you run that (manually or in a rc file) the program just works as intended (I assume, I haven't done a scan with it yet).
