Similar to this issue...

To fix this I did...
make distclean
yum install libcurl-devel perl-WWW-Curl
./configure --enable-s3-device
make
I believe part of the underlying issue is that the autoconf tests do not seem
to warn about missing headers like libcurl, etc.
s3 device is an optional package (not required)
'./configure --enable-s3-device' fail if libcurl-devel is not installed.
checking whether to include the Amazon S3 device... no
configure: error: Cannot build the Amazon S3 device: one or more
prerequisites are missing.
'./configure' do not fail and compile what can be compiled (s3-device is
not compiled).
checking whether to include the Amazon S3 device... no
Both reported problem with curl:
checking for curl-config... no
checking whether libcurl is usable... no
I improved the output, it now print which device are included or not:
Amanda Devices: file null rait tape dvdrw ndmp (no S3)
Jean-Louis
