Re: [Duplicity-talk] Problem loading librsync lib module

[edgar . soldin]

hey Mrob,

not sure what's failing in your case. but you may try as a tried and sureshot 
variant to install the way i install multiple versions in parallel to try and 
test them. essentially it's a self contained portable install with everything 
under one folder.

check "INSTALL MULTIPLE VERSIONS" on
http://duply.net/index.php?title=Documentation

good luck.. ede
