I did have the smbclient defined at configure time but I run the configure again and I noticed it was complaining about that address and said it would be ignored. I then realised I had put --with-smbclient=/opt/samba/bin/ instead of --with-smbclient=/opt/samba/bin/smbclient
I also discovered that my tar parameter was pointing to the wrong version of tar. With all this fixed I've got it down to one error: ERROR: father: [can not read/write /opt/amanda/var/amanda/gnutar- lists/.:No such file or directory] I suspect this is a default value because /opt/amanda/var/amanda does not exist for me. I keep my config files in /opt/amanda/etc/amanda/ and I keep my index files in /var/adm/amanda. So where can I set this value, is it in my amanda.conf and if so what keywords do I use? Also because I've never used GNUTAR until know I don't have any gnutar-lists. What are gnutar-lists?
