Using CentOS 5, couldn’t get rtorrent to talk to trackers without the updated CURL and I couldn’t figure out how to tell rtorrent I had it. Your suggestion worked perfectly, connecting to everything now :)

indeed there are files in /usr/lib/pkgconfig, but if i set PKG_CONFIG_PATH to /usr/lib/pkgconfig, I got error message when compiling rtorrent that said the configure script couldn’t find libtorrent installation.

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

fix this problem.

In the compile libtorrent script shouldn’t it be

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig

Otherwise libsigc++ wont be found.

i don’t think it’s possible, anyway it doesn’t take long to compile rtorrent. you can try to create a bash script to automate the compiling task.

Hi Markus, thanks for the reply and second how-to!! It’s great and working fine. I have learnt so much already, out of curiosity would it be possible to statically link the libaries when building rtorrent? This way i only need to copy the rtorrent executable without needing to copy libaries if i distrbute rtorrent to another centos box… more out of interest really to see how its done! Many thanks, Chris.
