Sorry for the stupid question. I finally got it to build a bconsole. I made a symbolic link in the /usr/include from the ncurses subdirectory for termcap.h. After that it was happy. I noticed that the Mandrake innstall of ncurses had already done that for curses.h which may have contributed to my ills since config could find curses.h and may have assumed that termcap would have to be in the same place.
Bconsole runs finds my 2 director references and lets me pick one. It fails on authorization but I am used to that and will check the passwords and usenames and hosts addresses to fix that. Then I can restore my tapes and make everyone stop hating me. Thanks to everyone who helped track this down. Great questions. Even the suggestions that I did not actualy try helped point me in the right direction and I learned more than a few things about Linux.

The problem is likely that I have too many locations mapped to the same directory and overwrote bconsole with the script so that the script calls itself. The documentation suggests a directory structure: ./configure \ --sbindir=$HOME/bacula/bin \ --sysconfdir=$HOME/bacula/bin \ --with-pid-dir=$HOME/bacula/bin/working \ --with-subsys-dir=$HOME/bacula/bin/working \ --with-mysql=$HOME/mysql \ --with-working-dir=$HOME/bacula/bin/working \ --with-dump-email=$USER I replace $HOME with /usr/local so that mine read something like this ./configure \ --sbindir=/usr/local/bacula/bin \ --sysconfdir=/usr/local/bacula/bin \ --with-pid-dir=/usr/local/bacula/bin/working \ --with-subsys-dir=/usr/local/bacula/bin/working \ --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \ --with-working-dir=/usr/local/bacula/bin/working \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] I gather that this will overwrite the one of the 2 bconsoles. I think that I will try ./configure \ --sbindir=/usr/local/bacula/bin \ --sysconfdir=/etc/bacula/bin \ --with-pid-dir=/usr/local/bacula/bin/working \ --with-subsys-dir=/usr/local/bacula/bin/working \ --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \ --with-working-dir=/usr/local/bacula/bin/working \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] which is what I think that I had the last time. Someone might suggest fixing the documentation.

I'll bet there's a path problem, and the bconsole script is recursively spawning *ITSELF* instead of starting the bconsole binary. That'd do it for sure. A configure error could cause that. Check the paths *inside* the bconsole script. -- Phil Stracchino [EMAIL PROTECTED] Renaissance Man, Unix generalist, Perl hacker Mobile: 603-216-7037 Landline: 603-886-3518 ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
