I was interested by this compilation on OSX 10.4. I followed the same
Bombich instructions, and I thought I was successful, since I have
found the following in the /usr/local/bin directory with today's date:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root staff 1011412 Nov 8 14:46 rsync
Hovever when I perform the command rsync --version, I still find the
old version:
rsync version 2.6.9 protocol version 29

etc.....
I though that adding the following in my ~/.profile file would help,
but no change
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
Any idea on how to solve this? I must admit I am a beginner ....

It's the same problem I reported. Indeed, I made the effort to have
/usr/local/bin appear early, if not first, in my profile. That is not
enough to solve this problem. As earlier posters who responded to my
initial inquiry reported, you must explicitly specify the rsync you wish
to use. So your rsync command should look like this at the start:
sudo /usr/local/bin/rsync --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync <whatever
you actually want to do with rsync>
Either Mike Bombich knows something the rest of us don't, or he was just
lucky with his setup. Take your pick. Good luck! I know I'm going to
need it.
Thank you to everyone who responded to my inquiry! Your assistance is
appreciated.
