I'm a new MBWE owner, i have done all the first to-do hacks: enable ssh and remove mionet etc… I've installed optware, nano etc and the most important: rtorrent.

I have a problem running rtorrent with screen:

when i run "screen rtorrent" as root i get:

[root@MyBookWorld ~]# screen rtorrent
/var/run/utmp: No such file or directory
[screen is terminating]
[root@MyBookWorld ~]#

When i run "screen rtorrent" as user ( the way i want it to work!), i get:

[user@MyBookWorld ~]$ screen rtorrent
/var/run/utmp: No such file or directory
[screen is terminating]
[user@MyBookWorld ~]$

when i run first "screen"
then rtorrent, I get:

[user@MyBookWorld ~]$ rtorrent
rtorrent: can't load library 'libncursesw.so.5'
[user@MyBookWorld ~]$

However rtorrent as user without screen works fine.. For example "screen nano" works great, i can detach it and reattach..
Looks like the problem is that when i'm using screen rtorrent cant find libs.. dont know why, how, or how to troubleshoot..

Can you guys help me out, this is the reason i bought the MyBook…

thanks in advance..

EDIT: Found a partial solution:

I cp'd *ncurses* from /opt/lib to /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib. Then I managed to get "screen rtorrent" run ok AS ROOT. These instructions helped me also:

Now if i run "screen rtorrent" as user, i get only seg fault error..

Still if you know how to make it work with user, not root, i would appreciate it..!

thanks!
