Quick and dirty fix is to add the directory where the Amanda libraries
are to your /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig.
   Better (IMHO) option is to recompile Amanda either statically linked
or with runtime library paths.  Otherwise you risk the problem of other
programs potentially linking in the wrong libraries (although probably
not an issue if the only ones there are the Amanda libraries, since the
libam* namespace is not too likely to collide with other common libraries).
