 It's a simple install. I have already compiled it locally on my 10.5 host.

 The website for dd_rescue http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/ddrescue/
 says...

 The current version is 1.14, released 2007-08-28.
 In version 1.14, a bug is fixed that could lead to a target file not
 having the correct size when copied in sparse (-a) mode.
 In version 1.13, a bug with read-errors and non-seekable output has been
 fixed.
 In version 1.12, the ability to log bad blocks to a ASCII file has been
 added. The option -y can be used to set the fsync frequency which can
 speed up the copy significantly.
 Since 1.10, it has support for non-seekable input and output (so you can
 write to pipes, e.g. stdout). Since 1.04, dd_rescue uses a larger default
 soft block size (64k instead of 16k), has support for O_DIRECT, for
 copying the permissions, and some minor issues fixed.
 RPMs since 1.04 also include dd_rhelp.
