Stan,
I sent this direct as it is extremely non-authoritative.
I.e. I don't have a clue if I'm correct or not.

Obviously Solaris 2.5 is way old.  Maybe there is not
glib version available that is new enough for what
amanda expects/requires for its 2.6 releases.

I've see some gnome software that has funny numbering.
Like 2.1 > 2.11 > 2.12 > 2.2 > 2.21
So it could look like 2.11 and 2.12 etc are newer than 2.2.
I don't know if your glib 2.16 is newer than 2.2 or not.

Note too there is a glib and a glib2.  I'm not sure what
amanda is requiring.

If you are pretty confident that you have a suitable glib
installed, locate its position (find, locate, or pkg cmds)
and make sure that its directory is in your library lookup
paths.  One way you could make sure of it is to do the
following before doing the amanda config/build:

  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<absolute_path_to_glib_directory>:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

If that gets past the config stage, you may have to set
some lib paths in the makefile.
