Humm, something I have never tried: 'su - amanda' and by golly I now have the amanda env. Lemme edit newmanda here. That doesn't work, BUT I can become amanda with the 'su -amanda' syntax, cd into the src dir and exec gh.cf as the pure user amanda, and it is building as we sit here discussing it. So it looks as if the problem is indeed in the su command. I will relay this to the pclinuxos advanced users forum. But I just checked that shell, and it did die in the make stage: libtool: compile: gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../config -I../common-src - I../common-src -I../amandad-src -I../amar-src -I../xfer-src - I../perl/amglue -I../gnulib -I../ndmp-src -I/usr/lib/perl5/5.10.1/i386- linux-thread-multi/CORE -I../device-src -I../server-src -I../client-src - I../recover-src -fno-strict-aliasing -D_GNU_SOURCE -pthread - I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -DSWIG -g -O2 -fno- strict-aliasing -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -MT ghashtable.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/ghashtable.Tpo -c amglue/ghashtable.c - fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/ghashtable.o In file included from amglue/ghashtable.c:21: amglue/amglue.h:25:20: error: EXTERN.h: No such file or directory In file included from amglue/amglue.h:26, from amglue/ghashtable.c:21: /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.1/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE/perl.h:976:21: error: embed.h: No such file or directory /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.1/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE/perl.h:2424:19: error: handy.h: No such file or directory /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.1/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE/perl.h:2605:24: error: unixish.h: No such file or directory In file included from amglue/amglue.h:26, With another 200 lines worth of fussing after that before it died for real. Missing header file in my install? So at least 2 problems, sigh... -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
