Install rcs. I'm surprised Virtualmin doesn't offer to do so for you, as it'll generally install dependencies for most Install Scripts, but it's easy to do it manually:

If on CentOS/RHEL/SL:

# yum install rcs

Or use the Software Packages module in Webmin to install it.

Or, on Debian/Ubuntu:

# apt-cache update; apt-get install rcs

I believe that'll do it.

BTW-rcs is "revision control system" an old version control system that keeps a versioned history of files. It is a spiritual ancestor to git, Subversion, CVS, etc. foswiki and TWiki use it to keep page history. (That's just a little UNIX history lesson, you don't need to know how to use RCS to use the wikis in question.)
