How ot install rtorrent/rutorrent in Centos 5 ?

randac56 · Jun 13, 2018

You must have root access on the machine, and svn installed on the machine
install svn:

Code:
yum install mod_dav_svn subversion

step 1:
To install libTorrent and rTorrent first we install the compiler and dependencies required

Code:
yum install gcc gcc-c++ m4 make automake libtool pkgconfig perl openssl-devel ncurses-devel mod_ssl openssl-devel apache2 php php-cli screen

step 2:
Download XMLRPC-C, curl, libsigc++, libtorrent and rtorrent

Code:
cd /tmp
svn checkout http://xmlrpc-c.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xmlrpc-c/stable xmlrpc-c
wget http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.19.7.tar.gz
wget http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/libsigc++/2.2/libsigc++-2.2.4.tar.gz
wget http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/downloads/libtorrent-0.12.6.tar.gz
wget http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/downloads/rtorrent-0.8.6.tar.gz

step 3:
Extract curl, libsigc++, libtorrent and rtorrent

Code:
tar -xvzf curl-7.19.7.tar.gz
tar -xvzf libsigc++-2.2.4.tar.gz
tar -xvzf libtorrent-0.12.6.tar.gz
tar -xvzf rtorrent-0.8.6.tar.gz

step 4:
Compile curl

Code:
cd curl-7.19.7
./configure
make
make install
cd ..

step 5:
Compile libsigc++

Code:
cd libsigc++-2.2.4
./configure
make
make install
cd ..

step 6:
Compile libtorrent

Code:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
cd libtorrent-0.12.6
rm -f scripts/{libtool,lt*}.m4
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
make install
cd ..

step 7:
Compile XMLRPC-C

Code:
cd xmlrpc-c
./configure
make
make install
cd ..

This installed xmlrpc-c-config to /usr/local/bin/xmlrpc-c-config

step 8:
Compile rtorrent

Code:
cd rtorrent-0.8.6
rm -f scripts/{libtool,lt*}.m4
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-xmlrpc-c=/usr/local/bin/xmlrpc-c-config
make
make install
cd ~

step 9:
Download rtorrent sample configuration and rename it

Code:
wget http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/export/1105/trunk/rtorrent/doc/rtorrent.rc
mv rtorrent.rc .rtorrent.rc

You have to modify the content of .rtorrent.rc file to configure the settings of rTorrent as you needed and place the file into your user directory.

make sure to add the line in .rtorrent.rc !

Code:
scgi_port = 127.0.0.1:5000

step 10:
Get rutorrent (with the correct path ex: /var/www/vhosts/yourdomaine.com/httpdocs/ for plesk)

Code:
cd /var/www/
svn co http://rutorrent.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/rutorrent

needed plugin for connecting rutorrent to rtorrent

Code:
cd /var/www/rutorrent/plugins
svn co http://rutorrent.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/plugins/rpc

step 11 :
Start rtorrent

Code:
screen rtorrent

we use screen because we have to keep rtorrent running after we close the terminal
Now you can open your new rutorrent seedbox just go to http://myserverip/rutorrent

tested and work perfectly for me

personally i dont' find centos to be the best choice but it should work fine using the standard install method.

skimming this, i dont' see anything wrong with what he's said but if you have issues please let us know

in the step 2 show me this error

-bash: svn: command not found

YOu sure you did not forget :

Code:
yum install mod_dav_svn subversion
It's above step 1

randac56 · Jun 13, 2018

As you can see in your log : you did not install subversion , there are errors

Error: Missing Dependency: perl(URI) >= 1.17 is needed by package subversion-1.4.2-4.el5_3.1.i386 (base)
Error: Missing Dependency: httpd-mmn = 20051115 is needed by package mod_dav_svn-1.4.2-4.el5_3.1.i386 (base)

You need to install this before you can install subversion

lisas4567 · Jun 13, 2018

Simply installing subversion should be enough: yum install subversion , if you are simply using a standard install of Centos from your host (assuming its Centos 5.4).

I have to agree with wonslung as default Centos install on dedi servers comes with php version 5.1x which isnt really good enough for the latest SVN rutorrent. It simply means that you will not be able to use all the latest plugins as they rely on php5.2+. I have moved over to debian lenny (5.0) which is a lot better and more up to date.

Imho I would personally reimage and install debian lenny and start again, plus remember DO NOT use the latest svn rtorrent, USE the latest stable rtorrent(0.86)!

As wonslung said , don't hesitate to come back here if you need help

jith45 · Jun 13, 2018

yah, debian is a really good platform. Most of the packages are stable and apt is a very good package manager.

dsouvik215 · Jun 13, 2018

I hope I can get help here as I am using this tut and on

This installed xmlrpc-c-config to /usr/local/bin/xmlrpc-c-config

step 8:
Compile rtorrent

I am unable to get make to work ?

lisas4567 · Jun 13, 2018

Hi,

I've installed everything to get it work(I installed latest version of all required softwares).

Once I run the rtorrent, I get following error;
Code:

This is a question to rtorrent's author. Try to ask him.

The latest versions of libtorrent/rtorrent wont work on CentOS, try this guide:

jith45 · Jun 13, 2018

I realise this is quite an old thread, but I have just managed to compile and install rtorrent / libtorrent with xmlrpc-c on CentOS 5.8 i386.

If there is any interest, I made notes and can either post here or send me a PM.

jith45 · Jun 14, 2018

Hi,

I'll make sure that I get rutorrent working as well and will post then (in the right section).

I've now posted my installation guide for an i386 platform and will start testing on x86_64 in the next day or so.
