Thanks very much, I think some other users were having the same
problems you were, but I'm not very familiar with the GNU build tools.
Does librsync-0.9.5 at:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/librsync

have similar problems?  If so, I can inform the librsync people (if
not I suppose I have to figure out what the problem is).

Yeah, this is a known problem.  My system seems a bit strange as far
as dependencies go:

~ $ ldd /bin/ls
        /usr/lib/libgdkxft.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgdkxft.so.0 (0x40018000)
        libtermcap.so.2 => /lib/libtermcap.so.2 (0x40039000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (0x4003d000)
        libgtk-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgtk-1.2.so.0 (0x40178000)
        libgdk-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgdk-1.2.so.0 (0x402a6000)
        libgmodule-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgmodule-1.2.so.0 (0x402dc000)
        libglib-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libglib-1.2.so.0 (0x402df000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40304000)

        libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x40316000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/i686/libm.so.6 (0x403f4000)
        libXft.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.1 (0x40417000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
        libXi.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.so.6 (0x40441000)
        libXrender.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.so.1 (0x4044a000)
        libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0x4044f000)

If someone has a system less eccentrically linked and would like to
contribute rebuilt rpms (rdiff-backup and/or librsync), I can replace
the ones currently on the web page.  Earlier I was worried about the
fact that they wouldn't be signed with my GPG key, but this is a minor
point compared to their not installing.
