Bittorrent complains about GTK??
 

Hello!

Please help me!

I've used the program Bittorrent to download torrents with for quite a time, however two days ago, it just crashed.. I don't know why, because the day before it worked fine.

For your knowledge I'm using SuSE 10, and Gnome for X.

When I try to start via console, this happens;

--------------------------------

thor@linux:~> bittorrent
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/bittorrent", line 177, in ?
import gtk
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 37, in ? from _gtk import *
ImportError: /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2: undefined symbol: FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden

Anyone that knows what's wrong?
Should I reinstall some packages, like wich?
I can use Yast, but I don't know wich packages etc.,

Thanks for your time!

did you update anything? it looks like something wrong with your gnome libraries. it is imposable to tell what your problem is from the description. what happened before it broke? I prefer the ncurses bittorrent anyways just launch it in a terminal window:

note that in previous versions the command was:
this will run in a terminal window and doesn't depend on any graphics libraries (unless you count ncurses but thats not really graphics) so it will fix your problem. but not the underlying library issue.

Thanks! :)
 

Okey, I don't have a clue about what it could be, I've installed lots of things..

Guess I'ts just to live with!
Thanks, then I'll try that instead!

Do you think the problem dissappears if I update gnome, if any new version comes out in the future?

Thanks for your reply!

:)

You can use Azureus instead for downloading bittorent files. Azureus is build on Java so it will run.

Yes, I recently tryed that, but it takes much performance.. And I think it was something wrong on my JRE packages also...

Not much working today! But soon a new day!


Tanks both of you for your replies! :D

if you are worried about system resources bittorrent-curses is the way to go it is part of the official bittorrent package so if you have the gtk bittorrent app you have it. besides I run mine in a boarderless transparent Eterm and it looks like text embedded in my desktop. looks better then a graphical app anyways. :)

I'd be reinstalling GTK, Cairo, PyGTK and PyCairo. From that I'd say one of them needs recompiling to link against your current libraries but try reinstalling and see if that gives you any love, it's simpler.
