Here's the recipe:
1. Get rsync (current release is version 2.4.6) from one of the very
many places. See http://rsync.samba.org/ for more info..
2. Unpack, configure and build:
$ tar zxf rsync-2.4.6.tar.gz
$ cd rsync-2.4.6
$ ./configure
$ make
[ the default "prefix" is /usr/local, and installing will put
rsync in /usr/local/bin ]
$ make install
3. Run it.
I do see an issue with rsync claiming read error when it's done, but
haven't had a chance to look if it's a real error or false alarm yet.
