I am currently trying to implement amanda on a Fedora Core 1 system. It actually contains a precompiled amanda but in order to change its use of directories you'll have to recompile it. I thought - rather naively - that it would be piece of cake. Nah, lots of compile errors due to missing header files. So I downloaded version 2.4.4p2 in rpm format and installed it instead of the former version 2.4.4p1, but it has the same non-standard use of directories.
So I am up to another compile. This time I would like to hear if there are any known gotchas with this operation. Are there any patches I must have? Or should I dump Redhat's version of amanda and get something else? And what? Regards, Erik P. Olsen
