I just wanted to double check, your following these steps below for your backuppc install correct?
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Installation instructions: download and install all three tar balls.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
BackupPC-XS-0.30.tar.gz:
tar zxvf BackupPC-XS-0.30.tar.gz
cd BackupPC-XS-0.30
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
rsync-bpc-3.0.9.3.tar.gz:
tar zxvf rsync-bpc-3.0.9.3.tar.gz
cd rsync-bpc-3.0.9.3
./configure.sh
make
make install
BackupPC-4.0.0alpha3.tar.gz:
tar zxvf BackupPC-4.0.0alpha3.tar.gz
cd BackupPC-4.0.0alpha3
The last step for each will need to be run as a privileged user.
If you want to install rsync_bpc in /usr/local/bin (default might be /usr/bin), then you should add the --prefix option to configure.sh:
./configure.sh --prefix=/usr/local
