did you compile rtorrent as root?

rtorrent should be installed on: /usr/local/bin/rtorrent if it’s not there then try re-compiling rtorrent again:

cd rtorrent-0.8.5
rm -f scripts/{libtool,lt*}.m4
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
make install

try run:

yum install openssl-devel

No package ‘openssl’ found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables OPENSSL_CFLAGS
and OPENSSL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

I have installed
openSSL

# wget http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.8g.tar.gz
# tar -zxvf openssl-0.9.8g.tar.gz
# cd openssl-0.9.8g
# ./Configure gcc
# make
# make install

But still no luck

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

I was banging my head all day trying to get rtorrent to work on my centos box, and this finally did the trick! Damn Centos and it’s always “just too out of date to work” packages
