Hello,

I've changed the Subject: line for this thread so not to bother
people... 
This is just to relate my first hand-on experience with 2.6.0.
I am a happy camper. See below.

OK, I got glib-2.14.6 source tarball and had a go at it compiling
64bit with:

root@grumpy:$ configure --prefix=/opt --libdir=/opt/lib64 CFLAGS=-m64

With PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/lib64/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
I then get:

root@grumpy:$ pkg-config glib-2.0 --modversion 
2.14.6

On a server running debian/etch and 2.6.22.2-i686-64-smp I configured
amanda-2.6.0 by passing these env vars to the configure script:

CFLAGS='-m64'
LIBS='-L/opt/lib64'
CPPFLAGS='-I/opt/include'
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/lib64"
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/lib64/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig

Finally I compiled/installed a test server and after finishing the
server/client config and setup I get the server to speaks to the
client:

root@grumpy:$ su amanda -c "/opt/amanda-2.6.0/sbin/amcheck -lc conf1"
...
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
Client check: 1 host checked in 1.130 seconds.  0 problems found.

(brought to you by Amanda 2.6.0)

Woohoo! After all that foreplay the real fun is about to start!

You guys are doing a heck of a job.

regards,
jf
