Did one of the binary rpms install the rescue directory?
If that is the case, then there is something wrong with the spec file when it
builds the rescue code. It should do a configure and create the bin
directory.

Hmmm. It looks like it also forgot to configure the rescue directory although
that may not be totally necessary if it create the appropriate file in one of
the subdirectories -- it is called something like "rpm-release".

Given the problems you were having I assumed you had loaded from source, but
it looks like the rpm is broken. If I remember correctly, I made the 1.38.5
rpm or perhaps it was 1.38.4 -- I forget now.
Hopefully Scott will fix this for release 1.38.6. He is working on them now
and should release the rpms shortly.
