[taurus]

After you unpacked it, does it create a new directory? What's the output of this command from a terminal, assuming you are in the directory where you have just unpacked ktorrent?


ls -la

[keedaiit]

well the result was
i was able to create a new folder on the desktop
when i used the -ls la command the output was this .

While you are in that newly created directory after you've unpacked ktorrent, change to ktorrent directory and post the output of this command.


cd ktorrent
ls -la

i am not getting the conf file nor am getting ther read me file in software.

[taurus]

Where exactly did you download ktorrent.tar.gz? It's probably faster for me to have a look at it on my system instead of asking you to run every command and post the result!

[keedaiit]

wee,i told you it was download by the archive manger on my desktop

[keedaiit]

i have downloaded it no my desktop.

[oldos2er]

From which website did you download it?

[keedaiit]

i have downloaded it from softpedia could you help me please

[oldos2er]

This is from the developer's website:

To compile KTorrent :
cd directory_where_ktorrent_source_code_is
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` ..
make
sudo make install

[maybeway36]

It migh be easier jus to go into Synaptic (or Adept) and install the ktorrent package from there.

[oldos2er]

The repositories only have 3.12.

[keedaiit]

where the source code is means.........
i have extracted ktorretn on my desktop
in that folder there is another ktorretn folder in which thre are two ktorretn files..........

[stoeptegel]

Try to compile with the wiki's faq, see this:
