Hi Dave,
Thanks for the tips, I gave it a try and still got the same error. I compiled rsync2.5.6 on Solaris 9 successfully. I tried to run rsync with the same version on both servers as follow: source.server:/usr/bin/rsync.256 --rsync-path=/usr/bin/rsync.256 --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh -C --stats --timeout=43200 -avSH --delete /tmp destination.server:/tmp It seems rsync completed but with one error: Number of files: 816939 Number of files transferred: 0 Total file size: 27234835633 bytes Total transferred file size: 0 bytes Literal data: 0 bytes Matched data: 0 bytes File list size: 17920432 Total bytes written: 17920448 Total bytes read: 20 wrote 17920448 bytes read 20 bytes 16866.32 bytes/sec total size is 27234835633 speedup is 1519.76 rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at main.c(620) <<<<< The error message Should I modify it on main.c file? Appreciate any help. I also added /usr/local/lib by running crle command.
