The link appears to be incorrect. It tries to go to www.puppylinux.ca.nyud.net instead of just www.puppylinux.ca

To eliminate the problem that happens when you attempt to update the Avast database [failure to update].
Add the following line of code = /sbin/sysctl -w kernel/shmmax=130000000
...To the file = /etc/rc.d/rc.local

it doesn't work, in precise and in tahr /usr/bin/avast: line 169: 30505 Segmentation fault $AVAST_PREFIX/bin/$programname $*

I have it working in Precise-5.6.1

In which "Precise" version doesn't it work for you?

Have you tried entering the command:
/sbin/sysctl -w kernel/shmmax=130000000
...at a terminal command prompt before running the Avast program, then trying to update the database?

yes sir, precise 571, it doesn't work please try it and post a video in the precise571 version... so i can learn where i wrong. thanks my friend

1. I don't have the means to post a video, and Precise-5.7.1 isn't one of the the 7 Puppies I have set up for use.
I might be able to easily update Precise-5.6.1 to Precise-5.7.1; I'll examine that possiblity tomorrow.

a. What have you done so far?
b. Did you install the avast4workstation-1.0.8.pet?
c. How are you running the Avast program?
Don't run it using a command at a terminal prompt.
You should run it using "Menu->Utility->Avast!".
When I do so, the program window takes 26sec to appear on screen. [patience needed]

can u come in #puppylinux chat of irc? so we can speak there

i've done all this: Can now be got here:

I've posted an invite to you at #puppylinux...
Awaiting reply.
1st time I've ever done this.

I've now updated Precise-5.6.1 to Precise-5.7.1 and Avast still works just as it aught.
