You will probably have no more luck backing this machine up than you had
trying to build Amanda. This is a seriously broken machine. At the
very least, you have a media error (i.e., bad block) in the middle of
the directory "/usr/include". This machine needs to be taken down, all
the filesystems checked, and the lost data restored. I would not even
consider trying to back this machine up until after those steps are
complete.
Good luck (you *WILL* need it),
Marty
