The easiest way to compile rsync on Mac OS X is to install the developer tools.

Visit the following URL : http://developer.apple.com/mac/

Essentially, the error you are receiving is due to not having a compiler and 
other related developer tools installed on your system. Following the default 
Xcode 3 for Snow Leopard installation procedure will install all the required 
tools.

Once you have the developer tools installed, follow the rsync 3.0.7 compilation
