I've installed librsync from source and installed rdiff-backup.
`which rdiff-backup` says there isnt one.
So the rdiff-backup binary is not in your $PATH.
would you run `which rdiff-backup` and post the path and
perhaps the contents of the file. I'd bet its not a binary.
$ which rdiff-backup
/sw/bin/rdiff-backup
Sorry, I mispoke. It is a Python script. Replace 'binary' with
'command' or 'executable,' your choice. At any rate, in this
context, it's not really relevant, although the file does need
to have executable permissions.
If I run python /SystemLibrary/Frameworks......./rdiff-backup
it runs as expected. Where is the wrapper program that gets
invoked by ssh?
Is rdiff-backup really somewhere in
/System/Library/Frameworks? That's a very bad place for it to
be. You should never put anything in /System in OS X. That's
for Apple to put things that relate to the, um, operating
system. Either install rdiff-backup in a directory that is in
your $PATH or add the directory it's in to your $PATH.
Or, a third option, call it by its full path.
I'd suggest using either fink (<http://www.finkproject.org/>) or
Darwinports (<http://darwinports.com/>) to install rdiff-backup.
Um, rdiff-backup is a python app which gets installed in the
python directory when you run `python setup.py install`. As my
production macs have never seen the internet, this is not an
option for me. Would *love* to have a step-by-step for
compiling and installing from source.
As demonstrated by the 'which rdiff-backup' above, the
executable does not have to live in the python directory.
