It looks like something in popt is interacting badly with your system.
Please try getting the latest version from

  http://freshmeat.net/projects/popt

and running the test cases with "make check".  If they fail, please
try to get a C programmer with access to your machine to find the
problem.  If they pass, then try installing libpopt and linking rsync
against that.  (Use "make distclean; ./configure
--without-included-popt")

p.s. if somebody is helping you debug problems *for free* then it is
kind of annoying to not read and follow their instructions:
