Greetings Dustin; I tried to update my mandriva 2010 x64 install, and it self destructed to unbootable.
So I next tried mint9-x64, and while pretty, it was a usability disaster. Next was PCLinuxOS-2010-7 in what I thought was x64 but I'm not 100% sure because they seem to have blurred the line recently. Anyway, it seems to run well, and is stable, so I thought I'd try to make amanda run on it. First I pull the old /home/amanda directory over to /dev/sda? and did as root, a chown -R amanda:disk amanda from the /home dir. Using this kernel: [r...@coyote amanda]# uname -a Linux coyote.coyote.den 2.6.33.6-pclos1.a64 #1 SMP Tue Jul 6 16:29:56 CDT 2010 i686 AMD Phenom(tm) 9550 Quad-Core Processor GNU/Linux it seems amanda cannot tell what the architecture is, and apparently it is also confused as to the paths it uses for a build. My newmanda script bails out very quickly: [r...@coyote amanda]# ./newmanda amanda-3.2.0alpha.svn.3263 amanda-3.2.0alpha.svn.3263 amanda-3.2.0alpha.svn.3263.tar.gz make: *** No rule to make target `clean'. Stop. checking build system type... mkdir: cannot create directory `/root/tmp/cg6200-9692': Permission denied mkdir: cannot create directory `/root/tmp/cg-6200': Permission denied config.guess: cannot create a temporary directory in /root/tmp configure: error: cannot guess build type; you must specify one control+c here obviously... And, doing an su amanda seems to work, but asking for 'env' gets a lot of roots env: =================================== [ama...@coyote ~]$ env LESSKEY=/etc/.less LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8 LC_ADDRESS=en_US.UTF-8 HOSTNAME=coyote.coyote.den LC_MONETARY=en_US.UTF-8 TERM=xterm SHELL=/bin/bash HISTSIZE=1000 LC_SOURCED=1 CANBERRA_DRIVER=alsa TMPDIR=/home/amanda/tmp QT_XFT=0 GTK2_RC_FILES=/root/.gtkrc-2.0 LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8 QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt4 QTINC=/usr/lib/qt3/include USER=amanda LC_TELEPHONE=en_US.UTF-8 LS_COLORS=rs=0:di=01;34:ln=01;36:mh=00:pi=40;33:so=01;35:do=01;35:bd=40;33;01:cd=40;33;01:or=01;05;37;41:mi=01;05;37;41:su=37;41:sg=30;43:ca=30;41:tw=30;42:ow=34;42:st=37;44:ex=01;32:*.cmd=01;32:*.exe=01;32:*.com=01;32:*.btm=01;32:*.bat=01;32:*.sh=01;32:*.csh=01;32:*.tar=01;31:*.tgz=01;31:*.arj=01;31:*.taz=01;31:*.lzh=01;31:*.lzma=01;31:*.tlz=01;31:*.txz=01;31:*.zip=01;31:*.z=01;31:*.Z=01;31:*.dz=01;31:*.gz=01;31:*.xz=01;31:*.bz2=01;31:*.bz=01;31:*.tbz=01;31:*.tbz2=01;31:*.tz=01;31:*.deb=01;31:*.rpm=01;31:*.jar=01;31:*.rar=01;31:*.ace=01;31:*.zoo=01;31:*.cpio=01;31:*.7z=01;31:*.rz=01;31:*.iso=01;31:*.jpg=01;35:*.jpeg=01;35:*.JPG=01;35:*.JPEG=01;35:*.gif=01;35:*.bmp=01;35:*.pbm=01;35:*.pgm=01;35:*.ppm=01;35:*.tga=01;35:*.xbm=01;35:*.xpm=01;35:*.tif=01;35:*.tiff=01;35:*.png=01;35:*.svg=01;35:*.svgz=01;35:*.mng=01;35:*.pcx=01;35:*.mov=01;35:*.mpg=01;35:*.mpeg=01;35:*.m2v=01;35:*.mkv=01;35:*.ogm=01;35:*.mp4=01;35:*.m4v=01;35:*.mp4v=01;35:*.vob=01;35:*.qt=01;35:*.nuv=01;35:*.wmv=! 01;35:*.asf=01;35:*.rm=01;35:*.rmvb=01;35:*.flc=01;35:*.avi=01;35:*.fli=01;35:*.flv=01;35:*.gl=01;35:*.dl=01;35:*.xcf=01;35:*.xwd=01;35:*.yuv=01;35:*.divx=01;35:*.xvid=01;35:*.asf=01;35:*.wmv=01;35:*.mp4=01;35:*.3gp=01;35:*.flv=01;35:*.ico=01;35:*.axv=01;35:*.anx=01;35:*.ogv=01;35:*.ogx=01;35:*.aac=00;36:*.au=00;36:*.flac=00;36:*.mid=00;36:*.midi=00;36:*.mka=00;36:*.mp3=00;36:*.mpc=00;36:*.ogg=00;36:*.ra=00;36:*.wav=00;36:*.axa=00;36:*.oga=00;36:*.spx=00;36:*.xspf=00;36:*.mp2=00;36:*.mod=00;36:*.xm=00;36:*.s3m=00;36:*.it=00;36:*.wma=00;36:*~=47;30:*.bak=47;30:*.swp=47;30:*.bck=47;30:*.bk=47;30:*.old=47;30:*.tmp=47;30:*.save=47;30:*.rpmsave=47;30:*.rpmnew=47;30: QT4DOCDIR=/usr/share/doc/qt4/doc ENV=/root/.bashrc <---------------------------------------------??
