rsync 2.6.4

[Jeff_Traigle]

Downloaded rsync 2.6.4 from the Porting Center. Installed the runtime dependencies as well. I get the following error:

/usr/local/bin/rsync --version
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Bad system id for shared library: /usr/local/lib/libintl.sl
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Exec format error
Abort(coredump)

Anyone seen this before?

Hi Jeff:

Are you sure you matched version and architecture to your server? The Exec format error suggests you may not have.

Well, I got the 11.11 versions... but now that I think about it... I think it is for PA-RISC 2.0... and this is an ancient G70. Wonder if the 11.00 version would work on 11.11 on this old box.

Shalom,

I just put this on a 11.11 D class server for the first time, installed it and it worked right out of the box.

If this is an 11.00 box, try compiling the source. May wish to try that anyway.

Hmmm. Looks like only popt has the 11.00 for PA-RISC 1.1. Oh well. We have rsync 2.5.1 on it already. Just thought I'd try to get the latest one on there. Not sure it's worth the time and effort to get gcc and the compile dependencies installed to attempt building from source on the box.

Hi Jeff,

I am not sure what system or OS version you have installed rsync to, but I have many Itanium system HP-UX 11.11 running rsync 2.5.5 without any issues.

unless you have to have rsync 2.6.4 for a reason, you can stay with previous rsync application.

I think the HP-UX porting archive unfortunately is becoming more and more useless for anyone using a different model than a IA64 with 11v2 :/

And there's no way a 11.00 G70 can run a 64bit/EFI or 64bit/PA-RISC 2.0 binary. If You want a current rsync version, could You consider building it using Merjin's gcc binary?
