The uvscan installer did all this for me, no "fix" is needed (or
should be needed) for it to work:

$ which uvscan
/usr/local/bin/uvscan
$ ls -l /usr/local/bin/uvscan 
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  root     24 Jun 16 14:02 /usr/local/bin/uvscan -> /usr/local/uvscan/uvscan

$ ls -l /usr/local/lib/liblnxfv.so*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root  root        15 Jun 16 14:02 /usr/local/lib/liblnxfv.so -> ./liblnxfv.so.4
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root  root        31 Jun 16 14:02 /usr/local/lib/liblnxfv.so.4 -> /usr/local/uvscan/liblnxfv.so.4
$ ls -l /usr/local/uvscan/liblnxfv.so*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root  root        15 Jun 16 14:02 /usr/local/uvscan/liblnxfv.so -> ./liblnxfv.so.4
-r-xr-xr-x    1 root  root   2593332 Jun 16 14:02 /usr/local/uvscan/liblnxfv.so.4
$ grep local /etc/ld.so.conf
/usr/local/lib

The big issue (for any virus scanner, not specifically uvscan) is to
keep feeding it updates as soon as they become available... until a
recent update it didn't seem to be catching Fizzer (although it's
.com and .scr extensions blocked it anyway).
