good day everybody.

im a first time ubuntu user. i installed ubuntu 9.10 karmic koala.
i installed ktorrent from the ubuntu software center. latest version i got was 3.2.4+dfsg.1-1ubuntu1 (ktorrent).
how do i updated this to 3.3.4? i tried downloading from the ktorrent website and saved the files on my desktop. from here i dont know what to do next. it doesnt seem to have an "install" or "setup" file.

thanks

There doesn't seem to be an update available in any of the karmic repositories.

Then you will have to compile from source:

tar -xvjf ktorrent-3.3.4.tar.bz2
sudo apt-get build-dep ktorrent
cd ktorrent-3.3.4
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$(kde4-config --prefix)
make
sudo make install
