I have no idea why amanda can't find it, but see our earlier 
messages about the tar version numbers, they are very important.
1.13 alone won't cut it, the suffix -19 or -25 must be appended in 
the report when you do a 'tar --version'

If it wasn't installed when the ./configure was done, then it won't 
find it to hard code it into the amanda executables, so blow away 
the files 'config.cache' and 'config.status' after you've installed 
the right version of tar, and then rerun ./configure & make (as 
amanda), and make install (as root), and that should probably fix 
the can't find messages.
