[rdiff-backup-users] Running into some issue installing LIBRSYNC can someone help please

[Robert Yoon]

Ok the servers are either redhat 7.3 or redhat 8.  I can compile python
2.2.3 just fine, but when I attempt to compile librsync  it tells me I
need a newer version of autoconf and auto make. I installed them and
tried recompiling but I am getting error messages still!   Can anyone
help me out here?!

I also tried installing the rpm to no avail.


======here  is error # 1 on redhat 7.2  -------------------
======trying to compile librsync ===========

/RDIFF/librsync-0.9.6#makecd . && /bin/sh
/root/RDIFF/librsync-0.9.6/missing --run autoconf
configure.ac:18: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DISABLE_SHARED
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use
m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:27: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
make: *** [configure] Error 1
