rsync installation problem

Hello,

I got this weird error installing rsync. I was able to install it on another server using apt-get install rysnc. This is the error:

Hope you can help. Im not really expert on this.

Thank you.

I downloaded the source and got errors when executing "./configure". I read somewhere that it could be with my gcc or partition access problem. When I installed gcc, I got similar error:

Would editing my FSTAB help? I dont know how to do that. I can post the configuration here if it helps. I just need to install rysnc. :(

Code:

With that being the first error listed, let's start there. Are you using sudo to install? Or logging into root?
