Hi all,

I'm a little confused as to why configure fails.  Here's what I'm using
when I run configure...

./configure --with-user=vilbu\
--with-group=vilbu\
--with-configdir=/etc/amanda\
--with-config=daily\
--with-gnutar=/bin/tar\
--with-tapedevice=/dev/nst0\
--with-amandahosts\
--with-smbclient=/usr/bin/smbclient

...but the response I get is this...

checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/ginstall -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
configure: error: *** --with-group=GROUP is missing

...the user 'vilbu' is a member of three groups: 'disk', 'users', and
'vilbu', while it's primary group is 'vilbu'; and the group most certainly
exists.

Anyone have any thoughts as to why configure fails in this case?

Thanks,
Stefan
