updated rtorrent & libtorrent packages for Solaris

Thursday, May 8. 2008  –  Category: OpenSolaris

was helping out a friend and updated my rtorrent/libtorrent packages for Solaris. as before, there are three packages, SFWsigc++, SFWtorrent, and SFWrtorrent.

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

enjoy..

  1. that’s whacked » rtorrent (& libtorrent (& libsigc++)) packages for Solaris Says:

    [...] 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?

  4. Stephen Lau Says:

    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.

    Thanks for the packages! Is it possible to update them to a later version of rtorrent? (latest unstable is 0.8.3)

    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.
