Those are your options." :) OK, I got glib-2.14.6 source tarball and had a go at it compiling 64bit with: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:$ configure --prefix=/opt --libdir=/opt/lib64 CFLAGS=-m64 With PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/lib64/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH I then get: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:$ pkg-config glib-2.0 --modversion 2.14.6 On a server running debian/etch and 2.6.22.2-i686-64-smp I configured amanda-2.6.0 by passing these env vars to the configure script: CFLAGS='-m64' LIBS='-L/opt/lib64' CPPFLAGS='-I/opt/include' LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/lib64" PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/lib64/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig Finally I compiled/installed a test server and after finishing the server/client config and setup I get the server to speaks to the client: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:$ su amanda -c "/opt/amanda-2.6.0/sbin/amcheck -lc conf1" ... Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check -------------------------------- Client check: 1 host checked in 1.130 seconds. 0 problems found. (brought to you by Amanda 2.6.0) Woohoo! After all that foreplay the real fun is about to start! You guys are doing a heck of a job. regards, jf > > Dustin > > -- > Storage Software Engineer > http://www.zmanda.com -- <° ><
