well, that's what I figured after looking on the gtk site but then something is amiss with the config stuff on my box as I get this error message at the configure step: ./configure --enable-kitchen-sink (ok no joke, I used '--with-user=amanda --with-group=disk') ... checking for GLIB - version >= 2.2.0... no *** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why... *** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the *** exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB is incorrectly installed. configure: error: glib not found or too old; See http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Installation for help dpkg reports 2.12.4 installed: ii libglib2.0-0 2.12.4-2 The GLib library of C routines ?? jf > > Frank > > > > > Where can I get a version that meets the requirement to compile > > amanda-2.6 so that I can start testing it in my environment? > > > > jf > > > >> > >> Source tarballs are available from > >> > >> * http://www.amanda.org > >> * https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=120 > >> > >> Binaries for many systems are available from > >> > >> * http://www.zmanda.com/download-amanda.php > >> > >> Documentation can be found at > >> > >> * http://wiki.zmanda.com > >> > >> > >> > >> Here's a list of the changes for release 6.2 (from the NEWS file): > >> Look at the ReleaseNotes and ChangeLog file for more details. > >> > >> * configure --disable-shared doesn't work because perl modules > >> require shared libraries.
