Hi All,

Has anyone else noticed problems with the installation of Amanda in SuSE 6.4 Intel ?

The supplied rpm is amanda-2.4.1p1-90. Despite this having been compiled with sbindir="/usr/sbin", those files are in fact residing in /usr/bin. Not surprisingly a number of the Amanda programs don't work properly.

I seem to have 3 options:

1. Try to fix the broken distribution by making symlinks under /usr/sbin. 2. Try to get SuSE to provide me with a bugfixed version of the rpm. 3. Get the sources and recompile/install myself.

You better recompile from the latest source. -Kastus

What would you recommend ? (Or am I hopelessly confused..)

(PS. The reason I'm using 6.4 is that that is what is on the box, and it's a production server that I can't just go messing about with.)
