Sorry. You're right that the 'd' should not have been there. >... At least I can run backups with compression once again. So, where are you at? Do you still have a problem or not? If you do, I think the next thing I'd try (and it's icky) is put the appended script (after you test it -- I did some but not enough) someplace. Then rebuild, but set the GZIP environment variable before running ./configure so Amanda uses the script: make distclean GZIP=/path/to/the/test/script ./configure ... # Make sure ./configure found the "right" gzip make su -c "make install" Then after a failed run, see if any of the /tmp/gzip.log.* files show anything interesting. > [EMAIL PROTECTED] John R.
