Now it seems all my problems with amd are solved:
the new name of the amd package is 'am-utils'. I got version 6.0a13 from
ftp://shekel.mcl.cs.columbia.edu/private/am-utils/
There are both source and binary for many platforms available.
First I tried a precompiled version of the package but there is a minor change
in the behavior of the amd: the os key has been changed from "sos5" to
"solaris2". That's normaly no problem but at our site we're using the amd for
some tricky things like version management, and this little change would cause
some trouble...
Therefore I decided to compile the package myself. But during this I noticed
that the solaris C compiler (SUNWspro) has some problems with a few headerfiles.
I also tried gcc and got an error caused by another headerfile...
Than I read a SUMMARY of this mailing list where somebody mentioned that gcc
has to be reinstalled for Solaris 2.6 !!!! And that was the trick ;-)
Now amd runs like a charm on our Solaris 2.6 machines.
