Installing Ktorrent

[Jordii]

Compiling and installing KTorrent version 3.0.0 or later :
tar -xvjf ktorrent-3.X.Y.tar.bz2
cd ktorrent-3.X.Y
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` ..
make
sudo make installThat's what I followed but something goes wrong:

jordi@jordi-laptop:~/Downloads/ktorrent-3.3.4$ mkdir build
jordi@jordi-laptop:~/Downloads/ktorrent-3.3.4$ cd build
jordi@jordi-laptop:~/Downloads/ktorrent-3.3.4/build$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` ..
The program 'cmake' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install cmake
cmake: command not found
jordi@jordi-laptop:~/Downloads/ktorrent-3.3.4/build$ sudo apt-get install cmake

Why not just install from the repositories?

[lykeion]

Looks like cmake complains about a missing C++ compiler. Before compiling any package you should install the build-essential:

sudo apt-get install build-essential
You can also easily install all the build dependencies for a specific package through the build-essential meta-package like this:

sudo apt-get build-dep ktorrent
Which will automatically install all the build dependencies for compiling ktorrent.

Then try compile again (cmake... -> make -> sudo make install)

BTW it seems other also have problems compiling latest KTorrent in Ubuntu:
http://ktorrent.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3444

If you find it impossible-hard to compile a package, maybe you should stick to the already packaged Ubuntu version (just like bowens44 says). You can install it simply by:

sudo apt-get install ktorrent

[NightwishFan]

Please run this command, followed by the next one.

sudo dpkg --configure -a
Then run:

sudo apt-get -f install

You perhaps should have posted this in a new thread, but I will help here anyway.

[drn]

thx NightwishFan , but wheni run the below i get

root@ks305111:~# dpkg --configure -a

This is a rented server, the support don't help me with the problem, if i mess it up i'm *ucked

sudo dpkg --configure -a

[NightwishFan]

Try the second command as well.

sudo apt-get -f install

If that does not work run:

sudo apt-get install acpi-support && sudo apt-get -f install

[drn]

this apt-get -f install gives me that

i'm going almost nuts on this

[NightwishFan]

That seems like a really broken configuration. I am not sure how to fix this. I will do some digging.

[NightwishFan]

Sorry for double post. Give this a try:

sudo aptitude purge acpid

[drn]

ok thx :)

did this
aptitude purge acpid

now after all this, can i still reboot the server? i did have some acpi probs on the other server then I could not restart the server

[NightwishFan]

Yes, it should still work. Make sure you review all the stuff that went missing, and if you need it, install it back.

[drn]

now my ktorrent works :) i did use add/remove.. it did remove it or update it..so it seems to work now thx''

edit, it say stalled on status only, the torrent wont start

[NightwishFan]

So the files will not download or the interface does not start? If it is the former that likely has nothing to do with how it was installed.

[drn]

it wont start, just says stalled

[NightwishFan]

That has to do with your network connection. I am no big on p2p, so you perhaps should post a new thread.

[drn]

i did not have this prob on my other server.. and that one was exact like this one o have now
