these install, per the companion CD convention, to /opt/sfw

[...] clarification: the above .pkg contains ALL 3 packages (for rtorrent, libsigc++ and libtorrent), so it should be all you need. it’s an x86 package only. updated: 2008 may 8th: I’ve built new packages… you should go grab the new ones instead [...]

Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks
Do you have a link to the patches so I can build this on SPARC?
May 12th, 2008 at 13:06
Yup – Laca got my patches into the SFE repository, so if you’ve got an SFE environment you can build the SFErtorrent & libtorrent packages from their spec files.

Nice one!

Thanks for the packages! Is it possible to update them to a later version of rtorrent? (latest unstable is 0.8.3)
December 24th, 2008 at 01:45
Hello,
In installed the packages, but when I tried to execute rtorrent, I get this error:
ld.so.1: rtorrent: fatal: libncurses.so.5: open failed: No such file or directory
I have installed SUNWncurses, and ld.so.1: rtorrent: fatal: libncurses.so.5: open failed: No such file or directory
gives me:
/usr/gnu/lib/libncurses.a /usr/gnu/lib/libncurses.so /usr/gnu/lib/libncurses++.a /usr/gnu/lib/libncurses.so.5.6 /usr/gnu/lib/libncurses.so.5
any ideas?

in reply to above: set LDLIBRARYPATH=/usr/gnu/lib to get past the above problem. however, it’s linked against libcurl v4, which isn’t a part of current opensolaris. i’m guessing it can be found in blastwave or similar, however i’m trying not to use blastwave anymore so i can’t say for sure

Verified working on OpenSolaris 2009.06 x64.
pkgadd -d all the packages and then pull down IPSFWcurl from Sunfreeware.

is the xmlrpc support enabled ? thanks
September 6th, 2009 at 12:34
On 2009.06 I had to get three more packages
pkg install -v IPSFWncur pkg install -v IPSFWcurl pkg install -v SUNWgnu-idn
and installs to /opt/sfw/bin/rtorrent

Kool, I love rtorrent. Has anybody else had problems with Transmission client on Opensolaris? I wish this doesn’t shutdown itself. Thank you.

xmlrpc support not enabled.
jim@indiana:~$ rtorrent rtorrent: XMLRPC not supported.
per http://projects.cyla.homeip.net/rtwi/wiki/InstallationGuide “If rtorrent stops with an error, that says xmlrpc is not supported, configure xmlrpc-c with –with-xmlrpc-c, and recompile”
Lemme know if you’re going to recompile mate. It’d help me out.
