I am currently trying to implement amanda on a Fedora Core 1 system. It
actually contains a precompiled amanda but in order to change its use of
directories you'll have to recompile it. I thought - rather naively - that it
would be piece of cake. Nah, lots of compile errors due to missing header
files. So I downloaded version 2.4.4p2 in rpm format and installed it instead
of the former version 2.4.4p1, but it has the same non-standard use of
directories.
What do you mean with "non-standard"? It is actually quiet standard.
(Or do you mean that is does not put things in /usr/local? /usr/local
is things that you install yourself, to keep them seperate from vendor
supplied programs.)
If you have header files missing, you could just as well download those
rpms, and then try to compile again.
So I am up to another compile. This time I would like to hear if there are any
known gotchas with this operation. Are there any patches I must have? Or should
I dump Redhat's version of amanda and get something else? And what?
To compile you just need a decent compilation environment. If amanda
wouldn't compile, I doubt you can compile any program (except maybe
"hello.c", and that proves only you have a C-compiler).
