Ooops. This is what you get when you plunder with things that you do not know

I made the changes in the sources list just like you had, nad then tried to update. Ended not good. Something got removed something updated. But ktorrent must maybe been reinstalled? I still use version 2.1 it says. But anymore I can not even get an option to upgrade to 2.2.4 in synaptic.

What changes did I actually make here?

The problem is that you're mixing gutsy and feisty in your sources.list. Change the backport(there already was a commented out section with #) back to feisty by removing your addition and a few #'s.

May I also recommend that you try "normal" Ubuntu, or preferably Kubuntu?

At the moment it is not an option to switch to Kubuntu. I am sure hammering ktorrent into shape will succeed.

Thx stoeptegel. I will try those changes when I get back tonight.

I belive the time has come to try out something new. I have spent many hours trying to iron out the issues but somehow I can not update ktorrent. It is all here in the thread

My thought today is to go for the latest release and compile it to work with Linux Mint and Gnome and not KDE. But for that to work my freinds I will need help from ou good people here.

KTorrent 3.0rc1

* Source code : http://ktorrent.org/downloads/3.0rc1/kt ... c1.tar.bz2

How to compile

Compiling KTorrent for KDE4 is slightly different :
tar -xvjf ktorrent-3.0rc1.tar.bz2
cd ktorrent-3.0rc1
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/prefix/of/kde4/installation ..
make
sudo make install

You will need to install cmake and all the necessary development packages (Qt,KDE,libgmp,QCA2), to get it compiled properly.

Is there anyone that could give me help telling me what to write in the terminal to compile this latest version of ktorent?

Is there any other applications I need in order to get ktorrent to work? (dependencies)

I really need help here cause it is obvious I am in way over my head here, and I would really like to get it to work properly.

Thx u all

Try this :

sudo apt-get build-dep ktorrent-kde4
wget http://ktorrent.org/downloads/3.0rc1/kt ... c1.tar.bz2
tar -xvjf ktorrent-3.0rc1.tar.bz2
cd ktorrent-3.0rc1
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/lib/kde4 ..
make
sudo make install

Ok thx george.
Do I unerstand correct if it will now also install KDE 4? That will actually be neat.
I will give this a go when I am back from work tonite.

You will need the KDE4 libraries, you don't need the whole desktop.

Aaaggghhhh. Still struggles here
Now that I try your tip george I get this:
"Update SOME webadresses your sources.list"

If I only knew which ones....I did add a url for the fresh ktorrent.
And somehow that worked.

But life in the fast lane is never easy, so troubles strucked me once more.

Do you have build-essential installed?

So, it's probably a bad idea to suggest switching to gentoo?
