[rdiff-backup-users] rdiff

[Brian C. Hill]

        I can build the latest rdiff on a Sun system without
a problem (except for lots varargs warnings in building librsync),
but it will not run - no matter how I specify -R & -L linker
flags or specifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

        I have built this on other Sun and Linux systems without a
problem.

        Just simply calling rdiff-backup dumps this:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
   Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: ld.so.1: /usr/pkg/python/bin/rdiff-backup: fatal:

-----------------------------------------------------------------

        What am I doing wrong? Is an old Python installation (this system
has 2.2 and 2.3) interfering?

        I am using:

        python: 2.4
        librsync: 0.9.7
        uname: SunOS admin 5.8 Generic_117350-25 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10
        gcc: 2.95.3 20010315 (release)

Thanks for any clues.
