Yeah. It's actually the libraries, etc., that're giving me the most grief. Guess it's time to hunker down and just get 'em all.

True 'nuff, but I wouldn't know where to begin. Think I'll take the "compile, darn you" approach. Assuming I get it to work, is there anywhere that I should put the binaries and/or patches/HOWTO for public consumption?

P.S. I should explicitly thank Eric Schnoebelen as the guy who was kind enough to send me the patches for Amanda under HP/UX. Thus far, I've seen nothing wrong with them, but rather with my "development" suite (ha!) under HP/UX. See
