I recently installed rtorrent from the repo, it was outdated so I decided to build it myself. I had some trouble compiling and installing it. One single copy solves this. For the ones that already have rtorrent, remove that first.

yum -y remove rtorrent libtorrent

Become su - and paste the following:

yum -y install gcc make gcc-c++ boost boost-devel openssl-devel libsigc++20-devel curl-devel
wget http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/downloads/libtorrent-0.11.1.tar.gz
wget http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/downloads/rtorrent-0.7.1.tar.gz
gzip -d libtorrent-0.11.1.tar.gz
gzip -d rtorrent-0.7.1.tar.gz
tar -xf libtorrent-0.11.1.tar
tar -xf rtorrent-0.7.1.tar
cd libtorrent-0.11.1
./configure
make
make install
cp /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libtorrent.pc /usr/lib/pkgconfig/
cd /root/rtorrent-0.7.1/
./configure
make
make install
rm libtorrent-0.11.1.tar
rm rtorrent-0.7.1.tar
rm -rf rtorrent-0.7.1
rm -rf libtorrent-0.11.1

Done :) Run rtorrent by simply opening a terminal en type: rtorrent . Btw, if anyone can give me a good .RPM manual, I could build an .RPM ...

This may work, instead of doing 'make install' do 'check-install' using this package

yum -y install gcc make gcc-c++ boost boost-devel openssl-devel libsigc++20-devel curl-devel

Did you do that? If it's already installed, yum will skip it.

Ok everything works fine now :) Thx very much m8 :)

Just one last question, everytime i finish downloading a torrent it doesn't start seeding automaticly. I have to start it manually, it check's the data i downloaded and then it starts seeding. How can i make it automatic ?

Well, for me, it starts seeding automatically just after it hashed for the last time. The status is then: [OPEN] which means it's seeding (if there are peers that request data).

Well, i read what you said but it doesn't work for me. I can only install rtorrent 0.7.0 from an rpm, but its full of bugs. It doesn't download all the files, only 99% percent of them, than it says bad hash chunk. :(
Please if you can help me, write me some words.
