You can install rsync from one of the source tar files. A number of good general guides are found via: http://www.google.com/search?q=linux+installing+software+from+source Alternatively, you could get the rsync RPM package from a newer version of Fedora and rebuild it to work with the libraries on your machine: yum install rpm-build wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/12/SRPMS/rsync-3.0.7-1.fc12.src.rpm rpmbuild --rebuild rsync-3.0.7-1.fc12.src.rpm # Watch where the new RPM is placed and install it from there. -- Matt -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
