The server is running 3.3.5. I usually prefer compiling clients and servers as I never liked to way amanda was packaged for Debian. For instance (it might have changed) the amanda user is 'backup' and there is already a user called backup and it used for other purposes that doing tape of vdisk backups. However they share the same home, /var/backups, etc. Anyways, I guess I'll have a go with 3.3.6 pre-packaged. For the sake of completeness, this compilation problem was reported in the past. See: http://www.backupcentral.com/forum/14/252632/252633/_subject_ I have exactly the same setup, gcc-4.9, swig-3.0.10.
