Duh, I was using the wrong patch, the correct one does indeed apply. But it gives me a strange advisory I've not seen before just as the compile starts when using my script to configure and build it: ----------- Making all in config make[1]: Entering directory `/home/amanda/amanda-2.4.5b1-20050214/config' cd .. && /bin/sh /home/amanda/amanda-2.4.5b1-20050214/config/missing --run autoheader rm -f stamp-h1 touch config.h.in ----------- And then it continues with the build without further complaints. And an amcheck returns no errors. Further results as they become available. Stay tuned as they say, I might need a transfusion here, playing with all this bleeding edge stuff. :-) -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
