I've followed the instructions in your FAQ to the LETTER and it just won't build.

Firstly, I had to install dependencies that aren't even LISTED on your page before cmake would work. Then, after running cmake, I run make and get THIS cryptic load of garbage!

If I can't build this version, then I can't use your program; because the version packaged in Ubuntu's "synaptic" refuses to accept some *.torrent files due to them being badly formed. Except that EVERY OTHER torrent program works fine with them. There's a thread about it somewhere on your forums. I read that the latest version handles them correctly, so I was trying to upgrade.

Run make like this :

make VERBOSE=1

That should give us some idea what is going wrong.

Very strange that automoc4 fails, haven't seen that before.
