answering my own question:
> > * Amanda version : 2.4.2p2, > compiled with --with-smb-client=/full/path/... > I tried to recompile again, and checked the "configure" output: $ ./configure ... --with-smblient=/usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient ... (...) checking for smbclient... no (...) but, $ ls -al /usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 574817 Nov 22 16:01 smbclient so, I guess configure doesn't parse the full path I give to him, but tries a default one instead. I then made a link to smbclient into /usr/bin (which is into the $PATH). Then, "configure" works: ... checking for smbclient... /usr/bin/smbclient ... and "amcheck" works for the NT box after recompiling Amanda.. So, is there some mistake into the doc or into the configure command, or did I miss something ? thanks, Pierre
