However they share the same home, /var/backups, etc. I certainly agree with your assessment of the debian package, and it has not changed on stretch. Sigh. Fixing that is on my to-do list, but rather low. Anyone else want to take that on? And I appreciate your desire to have consistent installations across all your machines. -- "When we talk of civilization, we are too apt to limit the meaning of the word to its mere embellishments, such as arts and sciences; but the true distinction between it and barbarism is, that the one presents a state of society under the protection of just and well-administered law, and the other is left to the chance government of brute force." - The Rev.

I usually prefer compiling clients and servers as I never liked to way amanda was packaged for Debian. For instance (it might have changed) the amanda user is 'backup' and there is already a user called backup and it used for other purposes that doing tape of vdisk backups. However they share the same home, /var/backups, etc. Anyways, I guess I'll have a go with 3.3.6 pre-packaged. For the sake of completeness, this compilation problem was reported in the past. See: http://www.backupcentral.com/forum/14/252632/252633/_subject_ I have exactly the same setup, gcc-4.9, swig-3.0.10.

That's what I'm trying to figure out... I installed libreadline6-dev (strickly not necessary) and swig3.0 that were missing but to no avail. Same compile error. I then had a go with the debian-packaged amanda-client (3.3.6) and it requested some xml perl libs: Install: libxml-namespacesupport-perl:amd64 (1.11-1), libxml-sax-base-perl:amd64 (1.07-1), libxml-sax-expat-perl:amd64 (0.40-2), libxml-sax-perl:amd64 (0.99+dfsg-2), libxml-parser-perl:amd64 (2.41-3) Again, after reconfiguring and doing a make I get the same exact error... regards, jf > > -- > "When we talk of civilization, we are too apt to limit the meaning of > the word to its mere embellishments, such as arts and sciences; but > the true distinction between it and barbarism is, that the one > presents a state of society under the protection of just and > well-administered law, and the other is left to the chance government > of brute force." > - The Rev.

Do you have all the dependency packages, and their respective -dev development packages installed? -- "When we talk of civilization, we are too apt to limit the meaning of the word to its mere embellishments, such as arts and sciences; but the true distinction between it and barbarism is, that the one presents a state of society under the protection of just and well-administered law, and the other is left to the chance government of brute force." - The Rev.
