The most recent repo for rudel does appear to be ELPA.  The compile
instructions in README and INSTALL seem to be outdated.  The following
compiles successfully for me (though there are a bunch of warnings):

    emacs -Q --batch -L . -f batch-byte-compile *.el

I managed to get something working this time:

    # first Emacs instance
    emacs -Q -L . -l rudel-mode.el &
    M-x global-rudel-minor-mode
    C-c c h
    C-c c j localhost RET 6522 RET red RET n RET qqq RET www RET
    C-c c p RET # publish *scratch*

    # second Emacs instance
    emacs -Q -L . -l rudel-mode.el &
    M-x global-rudel-minor-mode
    C-c c j localhost RET 6522 RET blue RET n RET qqq RET www RET
    C-c c s TAB RET yes RET # subscribe to scratch

So I've bumped the version in ELPA to 0.3.1 and I'm closing this bug.
