as the user 'amanda':

./configure --with-GNUtar (among others, my configure script is 
attached)
then make clean && make

then su - (to root)
make install
exit back to user amanda
amcheck etc.

My configure driver script.  It pays to do something like this 
and carry it over from version to version as you upgrade because 
it will prevent configureing miss-haps and typu's.
---------------
�#!/bin/sh
make clean
rm -f config.status config.cache
./configure --with-user=amanda --with-group=amanda \
  --with-owner=amanda --with-tape-device=/dev/nst0 \
  --with-changer-device=/dev/sg2 --with-gnu-ld \
  --prefix=/usr/local \
  --with-debugging=/var/log/amanda-dbg/ \
  --with-tape-server=192.168.1.1 --with-amandahosts \
  --with-configdir=/usr/local/etc/amanda

Modify to suit your setup of course.
