Re: installing/updating rsync 2.6.7 on os x

[Banana Flex]

don't update rsync on a Mac OS X system
because you don't have the -E (--extended-attributes) with the  
release of rsync-2.6.7 from source
this is important, you don't have any chance to copy a meta data of a  
file if you use any other release of rsync


the version of rsync included in the system as been modified by Apple

if you want a fresh copy of rsync, use this configuration:

banana:~ banana$ ./configure --srcdir=. --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/ 
usr --bindir=/usr/bin --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc -- 
localstatedir=/var --libdir=/usr/lib --includedir=/usr/include -- 
mandir=/usr/man --build=powerpc-apple-darwin8 --host=powerpc-apple- 
darwin8 --target=powerpc-apple-darwin8


banana:~ banana$ make
banana:~ banana$ sudo make install

good luck

then running rsync (in /usr/local/bin) in bash the output still

what am I doing wrong?

You don't mention actually compiling and installing the new version of
rsync, only configuring the source.  I hope you realize those steps are
also necessary? Those are the first lines in the INSTALL documentation
file...
