[rdiff-backup-users] Trying on SuSE

[Greg Freemyer]

I am trying to get rdiff-backup working in a SuSE 8.0 environment.

SuSE 8.0 has librsync-0.9.5-93 available not 0.9.5.1

So I downloaded librsync-0.9.5.1 from the rdiff-backup website.

If I try to compile it straight from the sources as:
./configure
make

I get 
===
# make
cd . && automake --gnu --include-deps Makefile
Makefile.am:21: `#' comment at start of rule is unportable
Makefile.am:22: `#' comment at start of rule is unportable
Makefile.am:23: `#' comment at start of rule is unportable
Makefile.am:24: `#' comment at start of rule is unportable
automake: configure.in: required file `./depcomp' not found
/usr/share/automake/am/depend2.am: AMDEP does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL
/usr/share/automake/am/depend2.am: AMDEP does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL

/usr/share/automake/am/lang-compile.am: AMDEP does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL
make: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1

If I try rpm --rebuild against the source rpm, I get
===
...
+ cd /usr/src/packages/BUILD
+ cd librsync-0.9.5.1
+ libtoolize --force
You should update your `aclocal.m4' by running aclocal.
+ aclocal-1.4
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.70681: aclocal-1.4: command not found
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.70681 (%build)

aclocal --version shows:
===
# aclocal --version
aclocal (GNU automake) 1.5

Where do I go from here?
