Hi Guys, I'm was trying to get KTorrent to run on SME Server (running in server only mode) but got a few errors on start up. SME Server is built from Centos. I would need to access it from a web browser. Anyone know if this has been or can be done? I can post the errors up tonight.

C

The version of KDE in Centos 4 and higher should be adequate to run KTorrent. Remember that KTorrent needs to be housed inside an X server of some sort; whether this be in the form of a physical X server or a virtual desktop provided by XVnc or NX.

Well, I guess thats positive, here is a dump of the install screen text, the errors are at the bottom (oohh, I should mention I am a linux noob):

You just need to install the missing dependencies.

Ok, how do I do that?, (sorry I'm a noob)

Euhm, I'm not a centos user, but I believe it is red hat based, so it probably has yum to deal with this.

A quick google search reveals the following information :

http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagemen ... =%28yum%29

It seems that there is a graphical frontend for it :

http://www.centos.org/docs/4/html/yumex/

Thanks George,
Even as a noob I can confirm it uses YUM, (I am learning)
I've been talking with a few more people at work and they feel that the lack of a KDE in SME Server is contributing to this, with that in mind I suspect that the YUM extender might also have issues without a KDE?
