[rdiff-backup-users] Errors loading the librsync library on CentOS5

[Jason L. Buberel]

Just downloaded and installed rdiff-backup 1.1.14 along with the latest librync on a relatively clean CentOSv5 (RHELv5) server.

rdiff-backup is installed in /opt/rdiff-backup.

librsync is in /usr/local/

I have added /opt/rdiff-backup/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rdiff-backup to my /usr/lib/python2.4/site.py file with:

sys.path.append('/opt/rdiff-backup/lib/python2.4/site-packages/')

When I try to execute rdiff-backup, I get this stack trace:
