It appears that there is a typo on the wiki page. I think it should say:

          make AM_CFLAGS=-fPIC

With that change, librsync compiles and rdiff-backup builds. So I think
the instructions for Suse 9.2 should also mention that this flag is needed.


When I run rdiff-backup, it says:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/rdiff-backup", line 20, in ?
    import rdiff_backup.Main
ImportError: No module named rdiff_backup.Main

So I guess there's something else wrong but I haven't investigated that yet.

Oh well,
Dave
