glibc problem on centos4 - 2.4.4 and 2.5

[Bryn]

Hi,
I'm running centos4.3, and was trying to go from 2.4.4 to 2.5 of Amanda. When I upgraded to 2.5, I got everything configured quite nicely, but after messing around with the clients for a while, I started getting this glibc error:
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /buff/amanda: 53535720 kB disk space available, that's plenty
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (out): 0x09eb32a8 ***


So I went back to 2.4.4 Centos build, after uninstalling 2.5 completely and I'm getting the same error. The centos builder here at Duke said that it was because I had used the fc4 build of 2.5, but that doesn't make sense, since I'm still getting the same error. Help!

Are you using 2.5.0p2? There are some memory corruption issues
fixed in the release.

Paddy,
I got it figured out - I was using the wrong versions of tar and libreadline for 2.4.4, and in the process of getting the versions correct, I learned how to install them correctly so that they don't kill glibc, or each other.
