Sorry if I'm a bit late in reporting back.
Works beautifully. Got dumps to the holding disk Wednesday night. Added tapes to the library and
more dle's and got dumps and everything flushed to tape Thursday night. Added more dle's Friday and
put in the --no-taper directive for the weekend (Thank you for that feature). Ran smoothly over the
weekend.
So, I'm off and running.
For developers and hackers . . . two things that I think ought to be taken care of in the build
process.
First, when the directories are created to hold Amanda modules and loadable libraries in perl (e.g.
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.16.2/auto/Amanda/), please chmod them so they are readable by the
amanda user. It is not uncommon for Unix sysadmins to implement restrictive umasks (e.g. 027,
leading to permissions of 750 on directories). Then the amanda processes "can't find" the .so files.
Scanning back through the install, I see instances of "libtool: install: chmod +x ...." For the
directories, you would just need it to do a "chmod 755 ...."
Second, I see no point in the build process grabbing a libamanda.so from the already installed
system. That is one of the things that is being built. It almost guarantees that the build will fail
on a system that is being updated to a newer Amanda. The build should be designed to pull things
that are Amanda from the build directories. After I had done the "make install", it seemed
particularly weird that an "ldd -s" showed that the newly built .so's associated with the Amanda
perl modules were explicitly calling for libmanda.so.2.5.1p3.
Those two issues lead to confusing errors. The first resulted in a "can't find", and I had to go
find the directories in site_perl and issue a chmod to fix them. The second resulted in a relocation
error. I had to find and hide all the pre-existing Amanda libraries so that the build could not find
them. Then rebuild.After that I had to go back and repeat the chmod fix on the perl Amanda
directories. If those two things were fixed, I would pretty much have a clean Amanda build first
time through.
I should mention that it was much easier than a lot of other software packages
we have had to deal with.
Now I just need to update several other servers and a bunch of clients.

That seems to have done it.
`amcheck daily` works now.
I'll see if I can run some dumps tonight and then start ramping this server up. I'll let you know
how things work out.
Thank you,

It is apparently explicitly looking for that version: "find object=libamserver-2.5.1p3.so" (from
ldd -s). So, if I move the old libraries, the ldd fails. It isn't just looking for
libamserver.so and finding one that links to 2.5.1p3.
If I remove all the old libraries, how far back in the build do I have to go? All the way back
to the beginning? What other pieces of Amanda 2.5.1p3 do I have to hide for 3.3.2 to build
correctly?
make clean; make ; make install
You should remove all *-2.5.1p3.so files
I'm not familiar with the build process on solaris, i don't know why it take
the wrong libs.

Following is the beginning of the ldd -s:
