First, "gnutar-lists" has nothing to do with the "tapelist file" subject. When you ran configure, what did you specify as the prefix? The default is /usr/local/var/amanda I believe. So there is a good chance, as you surmise, that other things will be expected there if you did not set a prefix. Run configure --help to check the actual syntax. Before recompiling, make sure to do a "make uninstall" and "make distclean" to get rid of remnants of the old installation and configure data. -- Jon H.
