I was also getting some advice from Jon LaBadie about which gcc pkg I used. I downloaded from sunfreeware, as I have done in the past but it wasn't working. I used the version from the companion cd, and on pkgadd, it listed 3 different dependencies I was missing, the gnu common pkg, a header pkg and an archived lib pkg. I installed all of those and voila! I can now ./config amanda...
