rsync install problem

[JR_3]

Hello,

I have download rsync RPM from OSSC web site, while install rsync with rpm, I got following error message:
-----------------------------------------------
alpha:/tmp/OSSC51B_NEW> /usr/local/bin/rpm -Uvh rsync-2.5.5-1.alpha.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
libc.so.osf.1 is needed by rsync-2.5.5-1
libpopt.so.0.0 is needed by rsync-2.5.5-1
-----------------------------------------------

Does anybody know what's the cause and how to fix it?

Apparently, that rsync RPM kit has some
prerequisites,like libc and libpopt, which
you may need to install first. Not knowing
exactly whence you got the rsync kit, I can
only guess that the other kits may be found
nearby that one.

So, does anybody know where I can find libc.so.osf.1 and libpopt.so.0.1 ??

I have search all rpm packages in OSSC51B_NEW download, but find no rpm contains them :<

forgot to say, I download OSSC from :

I don't know anything, but the installation
instructions do say:

As of 2.4.7, rsync uses Eric Troan's popt option-parsing library. A
cut-down copy of release 1.5 is included in the rsync distribution,
and will be used it there is no popt library on your build host, or if
the --with-included-popt option is passed to ./configure.

The libc thing may be related to GCC. Are
you installing the binaries, or building from
the source? (The latter may work better.)
I don't know how much of the whole OSSC kit
you need to install to get all the stuff you
need for its various pieces.

However,

http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/

suggests that "Rsync version 2.6.9 released",
which, along with "(If you're using a version
of rsync older than 2.6.3, see below for some
security advisories.)", would tend to lead me
toward an up-to-date source kit rather than
an obsolete binary kit. Most of the stuff I
recognize on that OSSC list ranks somewhere
between old and very old.
