Transmission 1.20

summary:

Configuring and installing from source with required dependancies?

Transmission 1.20

FingAZ 1211128433|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Hi all,
Ive just started to try and build and install the new 1.20 transmission; i understand that it requires Libcurl and OpenSSL to name a few parts; i have most of the required dependancies as from transmission 1.01; but i like the sound of the bug fixes which have been implemented in the newer version :)

I have libcurl installed via optware, so use
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/lib/
so that it knows where it is; which shoots me in the foot as i need to process;
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/ssl/lib/pkgconfig/
so that it knows where SSL is located.

I have tried doing LD_LIBRARAY_PATH=/opt/lib/
instead of the PKG_CONFIG but this then drops the location of the other required dependancies (although i cant rememeber which) :)

Any ideas? I want new features! :p

Just to add to this; ran PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/ssl/lib/pkgconfig/
and then it says the following;

checking for LIBCURL... configure: error: Package requirements (libcurl >= 7.15.0) were not met:

No package 'libcurl' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if youinstalled software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBCURL_CFLAGSand LIBCURL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Which makes me wonder if there is another means of telling the configure script where the files are located without them overwritting one another?

Its easy to fix this error, download curl from http://curl.haxx.se/
http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.18.1.tar.gz

OK, done that, and all installed ok; but now when starting the transmission daemon i get the following message;

transmission-remote: failed to connect to socket file:
/root/.config/transmission/daemon/socket: No such file or directory

Any ideas?

I checked the location and there is no socket file; the socket file from the previous version resides in /root/.transmission/daemon/socket
But cannot copy this across, and running transmission-dameon -s /root/.transmission/daemon/socket seems to work to a certain extent; but then clutch doesn't read the daemon?
ps aux | grep shows it is running though?

Create the directory tree that transmission expects.

ie make the folders : /root/.config/transmission/daemon/

This directory already existed; but 'socket' is not present.
So i created a symlink to where i knew it existed;

ln -s /root/.transmission/daemon/socket socket

So, started the daemon using "transmission-daemon" and the process kills itself.
Ran transmission-daemon -d

and i get the following;

[root@MyBook /]# transmission-daemon -d -s /root/.transmission/daemon/socket
Transmission 1.20 (5792) started
Opened port 51413 to listen for incoming peer connections
Got 65 peers from tracker
transmission-daemon: crypto.c: 184: initRC4: Assertion `crypto->mySecretIsSet' failed.
Killed

Getting close… :)

{edit}
Did just find the code for crypto.c; Here, If thats of any use to anyone :) lol

why not use the optware package?

ipkg update; ipkg install libcurl

Follow frater's suggestion below. This lack of LDSO_RUNPATH in uclibc is really really annoying, someone with mbwe should try rebuild a replacement uclibc to solve this problem.

Also make sure you don't have any other libcurl.so.4 in /lib, /usr/lib.

Well.. installed Transmission v 1.22 via optware and now it says:

[root@HOST bin]# transmission-daemon
transmission-daemon: can't load library 'libiconv.so.2'

I'm newbie in Linux so everybody's help's highly appreciated!

Can I get clutch running on the 1.22 version?

You put your question exactly behind the answer….
You should read first and then write….

After install transmission and clutch by Optware packages, I have the same problem and I don't know what's the solution:

[root@mybook etc]# /opt/bin/transmission-daemon
/opt/bin/transmission-daemon: can't load library 'libiconv.so.2'

I have uninstalled the Clutch package but the same.

solved. ipkg install libiconv
