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. -- Cheers, Gene AMD K6-III@500mhz 320M Athlon1600XP@1400mhz 512M 98.4+% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a hillbilly 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.
