Ok I added --mandir=/usr/share/man to the configure params and it
successfully 'make install'.

So does this overwrite the original amanda? Is it now usable after doing
this 'make install', or do I have to do further things?

Dean.

Looks like you are trying to stuff the man pages in a bin directory
(/usr/bin/man is the man command, the installer should be trying to
use the directory /usr/man, /usr/share/man, /usr/local/man, or
wherever it goes on your platform.  I'm guessing something's amiss
in Gene's configure script (possibly a line got truncated, wrapped,
or dropped).
