I'm attempting to roll out Amanda on our small network here. So far
things have gone quite smoothly, on a combination of Win32 and Linux
machines.

We have a few Solaris/SPARC machines here which I do not administrate,
but will be responsible for backups. I've asked the administrator to
compile & install the amanda binaries on there, which he has done, and we
have amanda working, to an extent, on these boxes. But we're getting a
library error when amandad attempts to run sendsize or selfcheck.

Following are the relevant portions of the /tmp/amanda/* files:

amandad:        CONFIGURE_COMMAND="'./configure' '--with-mmap' 
'--with-buffered-dump' '--with-user=amanda' '--with-group=amanda' 
'--prefix=/usr/l ocal/amanda' '--exec-prefix=/usr/local/amanda' 
'LDFLAGS=-R/usr/ucblib'"
amandad: paths: bindir="/usr/local/amanda/bin"
amandad:        sbindir="/usr/local/amanda/sbin"
amandad:        libexecdir="/usr/local/amanda/libexec"
amandad:        mandir="/usr/local/amanda/man" AMANDA_TMPDIR="/tmp/amanda"
amandad:        AMANDA_DBGDIR="/tmp/amanda"
amandad:        CONFIG_DIR="/usr/local/amanda/etc/amanda"
amandad:        DEV_PREFIX="/dev/dsk/" RDEV_PREFIX="/dev/rdsk/"
amandad:        DUMP="/usr/sbin/ufsdump" RESTORE="/usr/sbin/ufsrestore"
amandad:        GNUTAR="/usr/local/bin/tar"
amandad:        COMPRESS_PATH="/usr/local/bin/gzip"
amandad:        UNCOMPRESS_PATH="/usr/local/bin/gzip"
amandad:        MAILER="/usr/ucb/Mail"

and:

amandad: time 0.013: amandahosts security check passed
amandad: time 0.013: running service "/usr/local/amanda/libexec/selfcheck" 
ld.so.1: /usr/local/amanda/libexec/selfcheck: fatal: libucb.so.1: open failed: 
No such file or directory

So, the problem is that selfcheck (happens also with sendsize) can't
load the libucb.so.1 library. As expected, this library is in
/usr/ucblib and amanda was compiled with that library directory
explicitly stated in an LDFLAGS variable. Running ldd on selfcheck
produces no complaints:

libamclient-2.4.4.so =>  /usr/local/amanda/lib/libamclient-2.4.4.so
libamanda-2.4.4.so => /usr/local/amanda/lib/libamanda-2.4.4.so

(emphasis mine)

Any ideas?
