I am far, far away from getting this to install. "pip3 install pyxattr" fails 
with:
   acl.c:23:10: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory

All attempts to install rdiff-backup fail with:
   No matching distribution found for rdiff-backup-1.4.0{whatever I 
try}-linux_x86.64

If I include the .whl suffix I just get "looks like a filename, but file does not 
exist".

I am way out of my territory here. I'm afraid I have to ask for the exact 
keystrokes to
type, without any "VERSION" placeholders or "ignore slight differences in 
versioning"
comments. My distro is CentOS 8, 64 bit.  Python version is 3.6.8.

I'd rather not wait for the official release in order to find the hard-link 
problems
that I am 99% sure I will find.
