I am simply running the rsync command with nothing else, rsync and press enter.
The only reason I am asking is I saw there was a much newer version then I am
currently using (2.4.6) and thought about upgrading. Once I compiled (ignoring
the warning), I saw this message after it display the usage. I have been using
rsync to keep backup copies of our data of several different servers thoughtout
our wan so before I switch, I really need to make sure everythings ok with the
2.5.2 version and after seeing that message, I not so sure? - I have no issues
with 2.4.6.

Don't worry about the warnings; there are lots because gcc -Wall option
was recently added but the warnings haven't been fixed.

2.5.2 has a serious bug, but that's not the symptom. What's the full
command you are you trying to give it?
