I'm working on creating an Amanda backup server. It's got CentOS 5.5 running on it.

I'm working on the dependencies for Amanda, one of them being Glib. I thought I had installed everything that I needed, but now I'm getting errors in the 'make' stage of Glib.

These are the last few lines of the output from the make command:

libtool: compile: gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I.. -I../glib -I../glib -I.. -DG_LOG_DOMAIN=\"GLib\" -DG_ENABLE_DEBUG -DG_DISABLE_DEPRECATED -DGLIB_COMPILATION -DPCRE_STATIC -DG_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES -pthread -g -O2 -Wall -MT gconvert.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/gconvert.Tpo -c gconvert.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/gconvert.o
gconvert.c:65:2: error: #error GNU libiconv not in use but included iconv.h is from libiconv
make[4]: *** [gconvert.lo] Error 1

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/Desktop/glib-2.27.3'

I've installed and restarted libiconv, so I'm not sure what the issue is. I've even restarted the machine, along with it.

I'm at a loss here. Any ideas?

Thanks you for the post.

Sorry you haven't gotten a quicker response here. I'm not particularly familiar with your distribution, but . . . maybe I can offer some general guidance. It's always helpful if you can provide the versions of everything you are referencing. Are you trying to build the latest Amanda?

Is there a particular reason you aren't using `yum install glibc`? I saw some comments on the CentOS forum that installing a different version of glibc from what the distribution is based on could cause stability problems.

Also, you can get packages for Amanda at http://www.zmanda.com/download-amanda.php. The rhel5 package should work for Centos 5.5. That should make the whole process of installing Amanda and getting your server up and running much easier.
