Howto install rtorrent 0.8.6, the best torrent software!
UPDATE: I just tried to install version 0.9.2, but I couldn't compile libtorrent, if anyone is able to install it, please let me know!! Version 0.8.6 still works great!
Requirements:
1) RAIDiator-4.00c1-p2 or later.
2) The APT addon. Install it using the Frontview web UI under System -> Update -> Local Update.
3) The EnableRootSSH addon. Again, install using the Frontview web UI under System -> Update -> Local Update. This will allow you to SSH in to the NAS and bring up a shell command prompt.
If you DON'T want to allow root to ssh, then you create a <new user> with the WEB INTERFACE and give permissions to the <new user> to use screen and make the needed changes:
If you want to let the <new user> to be able to login, you would have to change their default shell by editing /etc/passwd from
As allowing ssh root login is a security breach, I recommend adding a new user, then editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config to
Update:
Install the tools for compiling:
Install rtorrent from source and required components (of course screen, because, without it rtorrent makes no sense)
Now we download and install libtorrent, libcurl and rtorrent.
Compiling libtorrent takes about a half hour, the same goes for curl; rtorrent itself takes over an hour, so be prepared!
To install, run these commands:
Now just put a config file ".rtorrent.rc" on the home directory of the user to run rtorrent:
http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/export/1303/trunk/rtorrent/doc/rtorrent.rc
Now you can use rtorrent....
If you never used rtorrent before, first run "screen", then rtorrent. So that you can detach the screen (Ctrl-a + d) session and let rtorrent running. Then to come back again run "screen -rd"

Update:
apt-get update
Install the tools for compiling:
apt-get install libc6-dev gcc gdb libtag1-dev uuid-dev
Install rtorrent from source and required components (of course screen, because, without it rtorrent makes no sense)
apt-get install coreutils pkg-config g++ libncurses-dev libssl-dev libsigc++-2.0-dev curl libcurl4-openssl-dev screen

cd ..; wget curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.25.0.tar.gz; tar -xvvzf curl-7.25.0.tar.gz; cd curl-7.25.0; ./configure --host=sparc-linux --build=sparc-linux --with-ssl; make; make install;

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libcurl3-dev: Depends: libcurl3 (= 7.13.2-2sarge5) but 7.19.7-1.netgear1 is to be installed
E: Broken packages
What may be the trouble? How may I solve the problem? - Any idea?
- Only first part compiled so far but I think it will work.
After checking for libcurl packages
# apt-cache search libcurl3
libcurl4-openssl-dev - Development files and documentation for libcurl (OpenSSL)
libcurl3-dbg - libcurl compiled with debug symbols
libcurl3-dev - Development files and documentation for libcurl
libcurl3-gssapi - libcurl compiled with GSSAPI support
python2.2-pycurl - Python bindings to libcurl
python2.3-pycurl - Python bindings to libcurl
python2.4-pycurl - Python bindings to libcurl
tclcurl - Tcl bindings to libcurl
libcurl3 - Multi-protocol file transfer library (OpenSSL)
I installed libcurl4-openssl-dev. # apt-get install coreutils pkg-config g++ libncurses-dev libssl-dev libsigc++-2.0-dev curl libcurl4-openssl-dev screen
I'll update after the packaging ends. - Has anyone been able to install rtorrent 0.9.2?

Installed it last week on my Ultra 2. I'm using the radiator beta though (RAIDiator 4.2.21-T4). As it fixed the apt-get update thingy.- I know this is an old thread but I wanted to comment anyways.
Any luck on latest rtorrent yet?
I had a TON of errors compiling too on an nv+. jimmygza wrote: UPDATE:Compiling libtorrent takes about a half hour, the same goes for curl; rtorrent itself takes over an hour, so be prepared!

On my readynas duo (v1 4.1.13) I try this method, with libtorrent 0.13.2 and have a problem..../configure sparc-linux
configure: error: Package requirements (sigc++-2.0) were not met:
Package sigc++-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `sigc++-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'sigc++-2.0' 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 STUFF_CFLAGS
and STUFF_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
nas:~/libtorrent-0.13.2#
The pkgconfig is in /usr/lib.
When using bash, nothing changed:export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig
