I changed my OS from Red Hat 8 to AS 3.1 and now amanda gives me

runs fine.  Does anyone have any ideas?

Seems like planner failed.
Planner is separate program that produces it's output to stdout.

To test it, make a little disklist file with a small number of fast
filesystems, then as user amanda, cd to the directory where
the amdump.XX files for that config are found, and execute it
giving full path, e.g.:

/usr/local/libexec/planner TheConfig

The stderr is normally logged in the amdump file, and the
stdout contain instructions, one per line for driver, also
a separate program.

Maybe it coredumps or has trouble finding some libraries.

I got a coredumpt when I tried to amanda 2.4.5 compiled with gcc 2.95.3.
That was probably a compiler bug, because compiling it with any gcc 3
that I have access to, gives no problems.
