I found a hint in an rdiff-forum. It is a problem with librsync (maybe only 
appearing in SUSE). I had to recompile librsync with the option -fPIC

   make clean
   make AM_CFLAGS=-fPIC 
   make install

If I do so, duplicity will also install without errors. I tried and it is now 
running.

Kind regards
