Hello all,

I was experimenting with a different installation strategy... That is, in order to not install amanda on every host... I am attempting to place a single amanda installation on a file server; making it available via an NFS share. The nfs-clients of the same architecture (in this case Linux RH8.0) mount this NFS share and run the amanda programs... (the tape server and the amanda clients).

The first problem I hit when running amcheck on the tape server was that of the shared libraries. (so this is quickly turning into NOT an amanda question <grin>)

amcheck: error while loading shared libraries: libamserver-2.4.4p2.so:
        cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Maybe someone that has been down this road before can tell me, "stop now" as this is not practical, or something similar? Or is there a config option to not build shared libraries and hence another host would not look for them at the same hard-coded path (in which the particular binary was built)

thanks!
DK

PS: I am not intending to back-up NFS mounted data.
