If you didn't give configure a list of options, amanda will be pretty 
crippled.  Because I always have the latest snapshot in service, and 
I need to have a consistent set of options so that the next snapshot 
wil run exactly like the last, I long ago cobbled up a script to do 
the configuration and make.  Here it is.
-------------------
#!/bin/sh
# since I'm always forgetting to su amanda...
if [ `whoami` != 'amanda' ]; then
        echo
        echo "!!!!!!!!!!!! Warning !!!!!!!!!!!!"
        echo "Amanda needs to be configured and built by the user amanda,"
        echo "but must be installed by user root."
        echo
        exit 1
fi
make clean
rm -f config.status config.cache
./configure --with-user=amanda \
        --with-group=disk \
        --with-owner=amanda \
        --with-tape-device=/dev/nst0 \
        --with-changer-device=/dev/sg1 \
        --with-gnu-ld --prefix=/usr/local \
        --with-debugging=/tmp/amanda-dbg/ \
        --with-tape-server=coyote.coyote.den \
        --with-amandahosts \
        --with-configdir=/usr/local/etc/amanda

make
---------------------------
Adjust what needs to be adjusted of course, and remove the references 
to the changer if you don't have one.
