Hi I run make distclean and reconfigured and I noticed the following
which running ./configure I choose the following where Amanda will live.

./configure --with-user=amanda \
 --with-group=disk \
 --with-owner=amanda \
 --with-gnu-ld \
 --prefix=/local/sw/amanda/bckup \
 --with-tapedev="FILE:/amandatapes" \
 --with-debugging=/tmp/amanda-dbg/ \
 --with-tape-server=server \
 --with-amandahosts \
 --with-configdir=/local/sw/amanda \
 --with-config=DailySet1 \
 --with-gnutar=/bin/tar

Here's the Warning which I believe is causing my issues down the line 

configure: WARNING: *** No terminal library, no history and command line
editing in amrecover!

configure: WARNING: *** vtblc headers not found - no QIC volume table
support!

I have readline installed So any ideas 

Cheers
