Re: rdiff-backup-fs filesize for large files

[griffin tucker]

i've spent the last few hours trying to install from source, but i
only got as far as:

/urs/bin/ld: rdiff-backup-fs.o: in function `run':
rdiff-backup-fs.c:(.text+0xad): undefined reference to `fuse_main_real' "

(above was after running make)

i think it references an old version of the fuse library

usually i install from "apt install rdiff-backup-fs "

for those interested, i ran:
autoreconf --install
./configure
make

and didn't get as far as:
sudo make install

i don't know what i'm doing wrong to install from source in this case
