Trying to install rtorrent and rutorrent on Fedora 18. Rtorrent successfully installed and ran when I used yum, but it is my understanding that it has to be compiled with xmlrpc to use rutorrent, so I uninstalled and tried to compile it using the instructions provided here:

https://code.google.com/p/rutorrent/wiki/MainInstall

It fails at:
Code:
checking for libtorrent... no
configure: error: Package requirements (libtorrent >= 0.13.3) were not met:

No package 'libtorrent' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables libtorrent_CFLAGS
and libtorrent_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
Libtorrent-0.13.3-1 was installed previously using yum. I can see libtorrent installed at /usr/lib64/libtorrent.so.17 and /usr/lib64/libtorrent.so.17.0.4. I've tried variations on setting libtorrent_LIBS (libtorrent_LIBS=/usr/lib64, =/usr/lib64/libtorrent.so.17, etc with and without quotes around the path) and get the same result.

How can I make it see my libtorrent?

Alternatively, can I just install rtorrent through yum and use an RPC plugin or something?
