rtorrent and SO lib missing

[alexo]

Hello,
I was trying to use a torrent client and software repository lists at least two: transmission and rtorrent

Now after downloading and installing on demand the former nothing happens when I launch it.
When I try rtorrent I get on the terminal the following message

Code: [Select]

rtorrent: error while loading shared libraries: libgcrypt.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

libgcrypt.tce is installed and boot loaded.

I need your help
thank you

rtorrent needs to be recompiled against libgcrypt.so.20.

You might want to read  transmission.tcz.info . It doesn't come with a GUI but can be controlled via web browser.

..or you could email the extension maintainers and request an update.

I hope in TC 6.5 this bug be fixed.
I'll try to compile it,
thank you.

That was my point - I'm not sure it will be fixed unless you email the maintainers (they don't appear to have a forum username).

Hello,

this bug still exists in TC 7.2.

A simple workaround is to "fake" the missing library, this works for me:

ln -s /usr/local/lib/libgcrypt.so.20 /usr/local/lib/libgcrypt.so.11
ldconfig

libtorrent, rtorrent and xmlrpc-c updated
