Hi Andrew:
Thanks for your reply. I am aware of the incompatibility between
versions. I've got 1.0.5 running on both ends (has to be - older
Gentoo server is very fragile - no chance of upgrading). In fact the
entire reason for this install is to support a backup from the Gentoo
server. I also have another machine (or two) running v1.1.15 that I've
done a separate install (of v1.1.15) for the same reason. I am in a
school environment and we have limited resources for technology.

Hello all:
I'm a noob linux user trying to get rdiff v1.0.5 working (older
Gentoo server at origin, new Ubuntu 8.04 install on virtual machine

Hi Bob,
Your problem is probably here. Versions 1.0.5 (old stable branch, ~23
months old) and versions 1.1.x (old development) and 1.2.x (new
stable) are not compatible.
The new stable series, 1.2.x are all compatible with each other.
Since you said that a new Ubuntu 8.04 is installed on the destination,
I suspect that it has version 1.1.15 or so.
I suggest you install version 1.2.1 on both the client and the
destination.
Andrew
