Bit torrent Exerpimental installation
 

anyone under stand this?

untar and put a line in /etc/mailcap which is similar to the
following, only replace the path to
/usr/bin/btdownloadgui.py with the one it's actually in.

application/x-bittorrent; /usr/bin/btdownloadgui.py %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"

i get the untar what is put a line in /etc/mailcap? i dont have anything called mailcap
and only replace what path to /usr/bin/btdownloadgui.py

sorry im still such a noob.....

i can shed some light...but i gave up and use the ./btdownloadcurses.py command to download

open a terminal

cd /etc
chmod 777 mailcap
emacs mailcap

Are you using a distro with some sort of package management? This is probably easier for you to apt or use rpm or cast or something.

I find the easiest thing is to just save the *.torrent link to disk, then run
btdownloadgui.py *.torrent
in the console.

the distro i am using is slackware.... anyway of installing it an easier way in their?

when i run btdownloadgui.py *.torrent from the command line i get

File "./btdownloadgui.py", line 21, in ?
from BitTorrent.ConfigReader import configReader
File "/home/miner/BitTorrent-experimental-S-5/bittorrent-CVS-shadowsclient/BitTorrent/ConfigReader.py", line 4, in ?
ImportError: No module named wxPython.wx

i installed this RPM, wxPythonGTK-py2.3-2.4.2.4-1.i386.rpm. is a path command all i need or do i actually have to change some lines in my ConfigReader.py file.

""when i run btdownloadgui.py *.torrent from the command line i get

File "./btdownloadgui.py", line 21, in ?
from BitTorrent.ConfigReader import configReader
File "/home/miner/BitTorrent-experimental-S-5/bittorrent-CVS-shadowsclient/BitTorrent/ConfigReader.py", line 4, in ?

yes i get the same error any help would be great

Something's obviously wrong with your wxpython install -
I would recommend downloading the source from www.wxpython.org and compiling it yourself. This has always worked fine for me.

i finally figure it out. i was trying to install the wxPythonGTK rpm meant for python 2.3 but i have python 2.2.
