Didn't you build amanda there? What makes it not easy? When I was playing with wrappers for ufsdump, I rebuilt amanda several times as I changed my understanding of how I was dealing with ufsdump and the wrapper. If you haven't kept notes on the configure, it should be in config.log. So, install your gnutar-1.15.1 from sunfreeware (and the dependencies, libiconv, etc.), and then build amanda again, adding "--with-gnutar=...". Shouldn't hurt a thing, since in virtually all instances it will be just repeating itself and putting an identical binary in place of the original build. --------------- Chris Hoogendyk - O__ ---- Systems Administrator c/ /'_ --- Biology & Geology Departments (*) \(*) -- 140 Morrill Science Center ~~~~~~~~~~ - University of Massachusetts, Amherst <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------- Erdös 4
