rtorrent issue

After seeing all sorts of great praise for rtorrent, I had pacman install it on my computer.  The issue is, when I try to start it up, it fails with the following message:
rtorrent: error while loading shared libraries: libcurl.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

can anyone offer assistance?

thanks,
PhantmShado

Re: rtorrent issue

I had this same problem, and I believe it is because the rtorrent package wasn't rebuilt after the last curl upgrade. If you use abs to build rtorrent, it should take care of the problem.

Re: rtorrent issue

Ok, thanks to dw for sending me the PM.

I'm rebuilding it right now, it'll be in the repos soon.

In the future, you are ALWAYS welcome to email me directly.  My email should be at the top of any pkgbuild I maintain.  I really haven't been able to keep up with the forum at all recently.

Re: rtorrent issue

argh now it doesnt work here. it used to normally before the upgrade of the pkg as the current version has libcurl.so.3 not 4. latest curl is still in testing its not in current yet.

rtorrent: error while loading shared libraries: libcurl.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Re: rtorrent issue

Same here. Until it gets fixed, everybody can just grab curl from testing (worked for me just fine) though I don't follow testing.

Re: rtorrent issue

rtorrent 0.7.4-3 and libtorrent 0.11.4-3 are now in community, built against current/curl. They will arrive on your chosen mirror shortly, at which time anyone who has changed to testing/curl should change back.

Re: rtorrent issue

PS: I totally rock at rebuilding.

Sorry again, I ssh'd to my testing machine accidentally and didn't notice... Thank wizzo for responding to me and rebuilding it on a standard machine for me.

Re: rtorrent issue

Justin, can you run

pacman -Qi curl

Re: rtorrent issue

The only problem I have now is that I'm using the curl from testing, which breaks rtorrent. I guess I'll just have to make friends with --ignore rtorrent untill the new curl moves to current

Re: rtorrent issue

curl HAS moved to current for a couple of days now. thats the problem now. if the previous problem hadnt been fixed it would now work normally. not much to worry about tho u can symlink libcurl.so.3 to libcurl.so.4 for as long as it takes for the pkg to be updated and then delete the symlink if u want

Re: rtorrent issue

Thanks Dolby! Made a symlink and rtorrent is now working.
It's at a rate much higher than when I had ubuntu installed.

Re: rtorrent issue

Thank you very much Dolby. Thank you very much.
When do you think I'll be able to remove the symbolic link, or when will I have to update it .

Edit:
There is a new package that doesn't require the symbolic link.
