INSTALLATION:

Thank you for trying rdiff-backup.  To install, run:

	python setup.py install

The build process can be also be run separately:

	python setup.py build

The default prefix is /usr, so files are put in /usr/bin,
/usr/share/man/, etc.  An alternate prefix can be specified using the
--prefix=<prefix> option.  For example:

	python setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local

The setup script expects to find librsync headers and libraries in the
default location, usually /usr/include and /usr/lib.  If you want the
setup script to check different locations, use the --librsync-dir
switch or the LIBRSYNC_DIR environment variable.  For instance,

	python setup.py --librsync-dir=/usr/local build

instructs the setup program to look in /usr/local/include and
/usr/local/lib for the librsync files.

Finally, the --lflags and --libs options, and the LFLAGS and LIBS
environment variables are also recognized.  Running setup.py with no
arguments will display some help.


REQUIREMENTS:

Remember that you must have Python 2.2 or later and librsync 0.9.6
or later installed.  For Python, see http://www.python.org.  The
rdiff-backup homepage at http://rdiff-backup.stanford.edu/ should have
a recent version of librsync; otherwise see the librsync homepage at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/librsync/.

For remote operation, rdiff-backup should be in installed and in the
PATH on remote system(s) (see man page for more information).


TROUBLESHOOTING:

If you have everything installed properly, and it still doesn't work,
