Agreed.
Does RH supply a real 64 bit compiled version.  If not, i.e. it is
a 32 bit version, it could be you have all the correct libaries in
of the 64 bit variety but need to add some of the 32 bit ones.

To answer an earlier question, nothing in /tmp/amanda, doesn't exist.

example:
[root@malamute ~]# ldd /usr/lib64/amanda/amandad

        libm.so.6 => /lib64/tls/libm.so.6 (0x0000002a958ad000)
        libtermcap.so.2 => /lib64/libtermcap.so.2 (0x0000002a95a33000)
        libnsl.so.1 => /lib64/libnsl.so.1 (0x0000002a95b36000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib64/tls/libc.so.6 (0x0000002a95c4e000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000002a95556000)
