Hello,

I am attempting to build and use Amanda on AIX 5L.  Here are the
problems I have run in to:

1. After detecting LFS support, every subsequent call to gcc fails
because arguments passed are unrecognized.  Workaround: comment out
this line in configure:

                        GETCONF_LFS="XBS5_ILP32_OFFBIG"

2. Building the SCSI changer causes a compile-time erorr:

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../config -I../common-src
-I../server-src -I../tape-src     -g -O2   -c `test -f 'scsi-aix.c' ||
echo './'`scsi-aix.c
scsi-aix.c:62: gscdds.h: A file or directory in the path name does not
exist.
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.

Workaround: disable building of the SCSI changer.

3. Running amtapetype -f /dev/rmt1.1 results in a near-immediate
segfault.  Since I haven't configured the rest of Amanda due to this
problem, I don't know if it will work or not, but I strongly suspect
that it will also segfault.

Any suggestions?
