Perhaps I should rephrase the question. Has anyone out there been able to make AMANDA work with Slackware 8.0? I would be very intersted in hearing how someone did it. Given the above combination, I seem to be having nothing but problems here. If someone out there can give me some insights, it

I don't know for sure that this is the problem, but in my case, when I compiled Amanda on Solaris 8, I had to delete the .so versions of the libraries so that the compiler would only use the static library. You may also need to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable before you start the
