@Rob:
Yes, rsync needs a newer version of autoconf than the one installed.
But you can download and compile it without problem:
1) get the sources from
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.61.tar.gz
2) unpack the sources
3) Open a Terminal and run the command:
cd <drop the autoconf source folder here>
4) run the command:
./configure && make && sudo make install
This combo makes everything you need and puts the autoconf in the right
place /usr/local
5) You need to say your system to use the newer autoconf by default.
- To do it once (the config will be active on the Terminal windows the
command was entered until the window is closed, run the command:
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
- To do this automatically for all Terminal windows opened (what I
recommend), run the command:
echo "export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH" >>.profile
Note that this won't do any changes in the current Terminal window. You
have to close and reopen it or to apply both first and second method to
have the right PATH.
6) You can verify the PATH running this command:
iLaG:~/Desktop/rsync-3.0.0pre10 patched lag$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
Don't worry if your PATH isn't exactly the same, what's important for
autoconf is only that it begin with /usr/local/bin:
Anyways, I've put the binarie compiled on 10.3.9 PPC G3 that should
work also on lower systems here

@Matt: No, it makes an empty directory Src but refuses to list attrs of
anything on it claiming that one element of the path is not a folder...
What's true. Maybe I should be more flexible with alias in the name?

@Wayne: Thanks for the correction! I've another small warning:
clientname.c line 268
rprintf(FLOG, "%s: too short sockaddr_in6; length=%d\n",
fn, ai->ai_addrlen);
Length is a %d (int) but ai->ai_addrlen is a ssize_t (long int).
In many CPUs int and long int are both 32 bits so this is not a big
deal, but putting %ld instead of %d makes gcc happy :)
