I installed gnutar 1.13.25 which generate :
    /usr/local/bin/tar

When I configure amanda 2.4.4p2, it could not find gnutar :

./configure --with-user=amanda --with-group=sys --prefix=/myapp/am1
.......
checking for grep... /usr/bin/grep
checking for gtar... no
checking for gnutar... no
checking for tar... /usr/local/bin/tar
checking for smbclient... /usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient

Yes it did find gnutar.  It just looked for the three different
names, and found that /usr/local/bin/tar is indeed gnutar.
(I called mine "amgtar", which configure does not look for; therefor
I had to specify the option "--with-gnutar=/.../amgtar" )
