I spoke too soon. This is a Debian 10 install with postgres.
I compiled and installed the S3 module with no errors or warnings. But the main Bacula 9.6.5 program was different: It configured with no errors or warnings. It compiled with no errors or warnings. However, even with the modified configure with --prefix=/opt/bacula , 'make install' installed stuff elsewhere. What's worse, after the installation, I get a flurry of "cannot open mtab" error windows that pop up. My configure file is: CFLAGS="-g -O2 -Wall" \ ./configure --prefix=/opt/bacula \ --sbindir=${PREFIX}/bin \ --sysconfdir=${PREFIX}/etc \ --docdir=${PREFIX}/html \ --htmldir=${PREFIX}/html \ --with-working-dir=${PREFIX}/working \ --with-pid-dir=${PREFIX}/working \ --with-scriptdir=${PREFIX}/scripts \ --with-plugindir=${PREFIX}/plugins \ --libdir=${PREFIX}/lib \ --enable-smartalloc \ --enable-conio \ --disable-bat \ --with-postgresql \ --with-dump-email=user1@localhost \ --with-job-email=user1@localhost \ --with-smtp-host=mail.localhost \ --with-baseport=9101 \ --with-openssl Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
