how does one uninstall rsync ?

[Roxoff]

How did you install it? What distro is it on?

If you installed from the source, go back to the build directory and do:

make uninstall

If you installed through yum, at the command prompt (as root) do:

yum uninstall rsync

If you have an RPM system, you can always do this:

rpm -q rsync
or
rpm -qa|grep rsync

to find the full name of the package, then do (as root):

rpm -e <rsync-package-name>

I installed it as a regular user, ./configure, make install...
I've tried make uninstall with no luck...

-bash-3.00$ make uninstall
make: *** No rule to make target `uninstall'.  Stop.
-bash-3.00$

Then I'm sorry to say you'll have to read through the makefile to find out what files get copied where when you do a 'make install', then you'll be able to go to each of the installed files and uninstall by hand. To do this, you imight have to learn a little about makefiles. Sorry.
