distclean might, Scott. I was in error when I said it had to be
findable by the configuration tool. Then someone else says you
have to find tar and tell ./configure with an option line where its
at.
Or at least that was somebody elses advice, but I'm *not* doing that
and I *am* using tar, so there seems to be some amount of room for
'interpretation' I guess.
In any event, here is the script I use to run configure. I use it
so there aren't any surprises when I migrate to the each new
release of the 2.4.3b3 series as they come out.
-----------------------
#!/bin/sh
make clean
rm -f config.status config.cache
./configure --with-user=amanda --with-group=disk \
--with-owner=amanda --with-tape-device=/dev/nst0 \
--with-changer-device=/dev/sg1 --with-gnu-ld --prefix=/usr/local \
--with-debugging=/tmp/amanda-dbg/ \
--with-tape-server=192.168.1.3 --with-amandahosts \
--with-configdir=/usr/local/etc/amanda
-------------------------
In other words, I don't do "./configure" but "./gh-cf" which is the
local name of that shell script above.

tar-1.13-25 is in my PATH as root, or as user amanda.
You should unpack it as root, then before cd'ing to the unoacked
directory, do "chown -R amanda:disk amanda-version", then su to
amanda, build it, exit to root and instal. That way all the perms
to run it are properly set.
