I already have ktorrent 3.1.2 and am using Ubuntu 8.10. I just switched over from XP so I'm still learning. Applications/add remove thinks 3.1.2 is the latest version so I can't update it that way. I have downloaded "ktorrent-3.2.tar.bz2" to my desktop and even extracted it by double-clicking it and picking 'extract'. It created a new folder 'ktorrent-3.2' in the same desktop folder.

What do I do next in the terminal to get this to install? I believe that I have installed all the extra programs from 'I want to compile the latest trunk, on what packages does KTorrent depend on?' on the faqs page. That part I completed successfully, no problems I can see.

When I try the different directions to install the newest ktorrent, it says no such file or directory. I must be listing the directory improperly because the files are there. At least, I'm doing something wrong.

Can someone please help this noob upgrade to the newer ktorrent? I really want to master Ubuntu and run the new, improved ktorrent.

cd ~/Desktop/ktorrent-3.2
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
make
sudo make install

Thanks for the reply.

I did what you said and it was all going great until I got to the "make" command. It started fine and was going through tons of lines counting a percent. When it got to 29% it got an error, error 2.

Here is the end where I got the error.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you need more of the log, let me know.

I'm guessing my libQTcore is wrong? Can I fix this?

This is very strange. Do this :

cd /usr/lib
ls -l libQtCore.*

And post the output of that command.

This is what I get;

walrus@walrus-desktop:~$ cd /usr/lib
walrus@walrus-desktop:/usr/lib$ ls -l libQtCore.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 608 2009-01-20 06:25 libQtCore.prl

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2277508 2009-01-20 06:27 libQtCore.so.4.4.3

Seems pretty normal

That sux.

Maybe somebody can tell me where I can find a .deb version of ktorrent 3.2 then?
