Actually I did read the link. In fact I read it when I was first
installing and configuring Amanda. I read it again when I got your
response. I missed where it said "make sure you don't buld it as root". I
generally build everything as root, and yes, I know that I may run the make
as a user other than root. I chose not to the first time.. After I got
your response, I tried re-compiling as the "backup" user just in case that
would make a difference and it did not change anything, I got the exact same
error.
Thanks,
Jeff

So you did read the mentioned link ? Seems not ...
It says:
"Make sure that you don't build the software as root, you may run the
first make-command as the Amanda-user, for example. On the other hand
you have to run make install as root to get the binaries installed with
the proper permissions."
