I am running RedHat 6.2 on many of my servers and am receiving the following 
errors when compiling Rsync 2.5.2:

[root at wrapguy rsync-2.5.2]# make

I really do not want to use an RPMs, I have searched but only found one 
person with the same problem - no answers, though. Any help would be greatly 
appreciated.

Thanks
Matt
