Also, note that the error message repeats its first sentence.

Could you please include the result of the
xcodebuild -version
Asking because it seems you having an nonstandard combination (yosemite + probably some left-over rcs from older xcode as 5.2). From the
apple Xcode release notes for 5.1
The CVS and RCS source control tools have been removed from Xcode 5. 11968433
So, because the current and future Xcode doesn't contains
rcs
anymore, common users needs install it from some third-party package management like
Macports / Homebrew / etc. or directly from the sources. Unfortunately, the latest sources (5.9.4) from the
https://www.gnu.org/software/rcs/ didn't
builds in El Capitan. (nor from the Macports) - so, currently the
rcs
binary is an general problem in OS X.

After updating the
glib2
to the newest Macports version (glib2-2.46.2_0.darwin_15.x86_64.tbz2), the
rcs
is installed cleanly from the Macports, and prints:
nox:~ $ rcs -V
rcs: warning: -V is obsolete; instead, use --version
rcs (GNU RCS) 5.9.4

Of course I wrote this only as reference for the other OS X users - handling the older Xcode's
rcs
is needed anyway.
