aptitude install python-dev librsync-dev
python setup.py install --prefix=/home/user/rdiff-backup-jail/ --librsync-dir=/home/user/rdiff-backup-jail/
echo "export PYTHONPATH=/home/user/rdiff-backup-jail/lib/python2.5/site-packages
export PATH=$PATH:/home/user/rdiff-backup-jail/bin" >> /home/user/.bashrc

aptitude install g++
./configure --prefix=/home/user/rdiff-backup-jail/ --exec-prefix=/home/user/rdiff-backup-jail/
make all check
make install
