Thanks Joshua.
It works by touch it.
But why there are files amandates.c and  amandates.h, are they suppose to be
compiled and distributed ?

---------------------------------
 spike:root:#find / -name "amandat*"
/etc/amandates
/myapp/amanda-2.4.4p1/client-src/amandates.h
/myapp/amanda-2.4.4p1/client-src/amandates.c
/myapp/amanda-2.4.4p1/client-src/.deps/amandates.Plo
/myapp/amanda-2.4.4p1/client-src/amandates.o
/myapp/amanda-2.4.4p1/client-src/amandates.lo
---------------------------------------

Thanks
