Hi Paul, Yes, figuring it was a cross platform thing I copied the kit to the local irix system and re-ran configure and make. It did install but I got errors (unsecured ports and dumper must be suid-root).
To correct I removed the --withport options and re-built. Eventually I resorted to using the root account rather than amanda, I really want to get away from that and have on Solaris but on Irix I've had some problems, perhaps in part because /usr/local (ie /usr/local/sbin and /usr/local/libexec) are crossmounted from a single NFS server. After that I was close to running, amcheck was ok but amdump reports driver: FATAL exec /usr/local/libexec/dumper (dumper1): Exec format error Perhaps because I'd compiled on IRIX 6.5.19m and was running on a different server (multiple servers, mucho-multiple clients) with IRIX 6.5.14m and something wasn't backwards compattible. I'll try again with a build on an older copy of the OS. Still that doesn't address the running as root issue. thanks, Brian > Brian Cuttler wrote: > > > bali 16# make install > > Making install in config > > Making install in common-src > > /bin/sh ../config/mkinstalldirs /usr/local/lib > > /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=install /usr/local/bin/install -c libamanda.la > > /usr/local/lib/libamanda.la > > /usr/local/bin/install -c .libs/libamanda-2.4.4p1-20030716.so > > /usr/local/lib/libamanda-2.4.4p1-20030716.so > > /usr/local/bin/install: can't open libamanda-2.4.4p1-20030716.so: No such file or > > directory. > > > I have no experience with Irix, but it seems that configure > got the wrong syntax for the current install program used. > > GNU fileutils 4.1 install program has syntax: > > /usr/bin/ginstall -c file dest > (the -c option is ignored - just for compatibility) > > install as found Solaris 2.8: > > /usr/sbin/install -c dira file > > -c dira > Install file in the directory specified by dira, if > file does not yet exist.
