Hello all,

I am relativly new to linux and to linux centos 6.5 64 bit
I posted a couple of days ago asking for help installing utorrent on centos without wine and no one seems to know the correct method to do an install. Is this common not finding an answer to a question? Is this too difficult to solve with Centos 6.5 I'm just curious as to why a answer is not out there.

Please advise

Thanks

utorrent cannot be installed on linux without Wine, they ONLY make a Windows client. You'll need to install a torrent client that's available. Best way is to use Yum to search the repositories for one. I don't use CentOS/RHEL so not sure what's available.

Nope, there are versions of utorrent for linux-

http://www.utorrent.com/downloads/linux

But no centOS version.

There was (any may still be) issues on 64bit...and its a closed source, ad supported, privately owned bit of software. Why bother with it when there are plently of free, open source, linux supported bit torrent clients?

I don't know why you would want to install utorrent on a linux box. There are loads of torrent clients available for linux that are as good or better. Try one out and you can verify this for yourself. I happen to use ktorrent but there are plenty of others.

jdk

I did install utorrent many times on centos 6.4 without wine follwing this link http://blog.kxr.me/2011/12/utorrent-...p-by-step.html. But now with linux 6.5 this link tutorial will not work.I am missing a library "if that's what it's called" openssl and I cant figure out how to install what I am missing. Maybe my question should be how to install openssl. I actually did it once on centos 6.5 but I don't remember the steps I took. So I know it works on centos 6.5.

If I figure it out I will post to the world. I can't believe no one else has doen this with centos 6.5

Peace is in the mind, not the situation, unless you're in a fire fight.

Hello all,

I have been lookin for this answer on the forum with no luck, and I finally figured out what I had to do.
I am new to linux and centos 6.4 and 6.5 so I feel lucky that I finally got it and I hope this will help the rest of you too.
===================================================================================

Ok after many clean installs of centos 6.4 64 bit with basic video card driver, using desktop install option here are the steps I took.

Installed my video driver
Installed audio and multi media options
===================================================================================
NOTE:
I did NOT do a yum -y update yet so I am still at centos 6.4, don't know if it matters or not, but if I do a yum update I will be running centos 6.5
===================================================================================
went to this link: http://blog.kxr.me/2011/12/utorrent-...p-by-step.html and followed tutorial

ran this command ldd -r /opt/utorrent/utserver and got error

Installed libopenssl0_9_8-32bit-0.9.8x-7.1.x86_64.rpm

First find out what version you have:

find /*/lib /*lib -type f -name "libcrypto.so.*"
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.1e
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8


[root@Johnpdc John]# find /*/lib /*lib -type f -name "libcrypto.so.*"
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.1e
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8

Then I ran this command and it worked

ln -s /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8 /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8
ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8
===============================================================================================

utsctl start

You should now be able to access the utorrent server gui on localhost:


it worked yeah!!!!!
http://localhost:8080/gui

centos already has
ktorrent
libtorrent
rtorrent
and
transmission
in the repos

with "transmission" already installed by default on gnome and ktorrent if kde is used

but if you really want to use a buggy port of a MS windows program

manually install it


I just reread your post above mine
you just installed NON centos6 rpms

and you JUST created a "Frankensteined " install

you REPLACED the cent versions of
libssl ,libcrypto
from NON cent os repos

what did you do install the OpenSUSE FACTORY rpm ON CentOS 6.4 ?



yum is going to have fun

as in you just broke it
have fun updating centos .....

DO NOT !!! use rpm's for other systems
lib ssl and crypto ARE SYSTEM FILES !!!!
most of the operating system NEEDS the CentOS versions installed
and yum will need libssl to be the version in the centos Update repo

Like I said I am new to linux so what you just wrote is not at all helpful at all in my opinion. My post gave information not vague info that you supplied.
transmission
in the repos if kde is used

wtf

why not explain in detail like I took the time to do.

baby steps then

Centos is a clone of RedHat Enterprise Linux
as such it is meant mainly to be ran on a server ( and NO gui -Graphical user interface)
RHEL 6.5 is VERY VERY VERY conservative !!! and that is putting it mildly

the versions of software used IS OLD ,VERY OLD
old but with the CURRENT security and bug fixes included

so the version of software used are OLD and WELL tested

this makes rhel a VERY VERY bad choice for a "new to linux user"
it is rather difficult to use as your HOME general purpose computer
and the redhat documentation ( used BY centOS ) is targeted at the experienced system administrator
https://access.redhat.com/site/docum...erprise_Linux/

-- and the Centos wiki( a lot points the the redhat docs) and is mainly centos5 and some 6
http://wiki.centos.org/


and NEW software might NEVER be able to be installed


prime example
the photo software "The Gimp "

the current is gimp 2.8.6
it uses gtk3 and a new version of glib
needs even a newer version of the gcc compiler and tools

CentOS 6 has the no longer supported version Gimp 2.4
2.6 and 2.8 will NOT install on Gnome2 that cent uses
-- the software is TOO OLD


now for running a headless server ( no GUI) or for use in the Office or in the Laboratory RHEL/CentOS/SL is a good choice

it will almost NEVER EVER CRASH !!!!
but
this makes it a VERY bad choice for home use



now i run ScientificLinux 6.4
but NOT !!! as my everyday desktop install
i use it for the scientific and University software i use

for everyday use
i use OpenSUSE


well i am betting yum might not work any longer since you replaced centos system files with NON centos system files


but you can try

that will output a list of torrent software that is in the base centos repos

also SEE the wiki
http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories
for installing third party repos

but most of the guides DO expect that the user is VERY experienced with redhat

John VV knows what he is talking about, but I sometimes find his posting style a little hard to grasp, so I'll put it another way.

Do you understand the what is meant by 'the repos'? Most linux distributions ('distros') have what is called 'repositories', most often shortened to 'repos'.

The software in the repos is open source with most distros, and is tested to work with that distro. Its easier to use a open source torent client from the dsitros repos than it is to manually install some 3rd party closed source software.

Its not just due to the installation, if you use 3rd party/different distro commands and/or software you can break your system.

BTW, its a _bad_idea_ to use random directions from the internet. The link you followed is 2+ years old, and IMO its pretty bad.

I dont see why you'd bother with all that screwing around, and possible breakage, to install a torrent cleint that is IMO no better than the linux native open source torrent clients in the CentOS repos.

==================================================================================================== ==========================================

I installed centos because I want to set up an ad dc active directory domaine controller with samba 4 and have my windows 7 box talk to it with mmc.

I know I have a long haul ahead of me but thats my goal. I actually had it workin at one time then my motherboard died on the linux server and I put in as asus MB with eufi bios and centos hung on boot, no messages. I guess it didn't like somethin on the new mb. Anyway I have to relearn what I did and I am taking baby steps over here.

So John I ran yum search torrent and here is a pic of the output.

Can someone tell me what I need to do to get the correct OPENSSL_0.9.8 for my broken system?

The output in the pic means nothing to me.

Thanks

Dude... no...

Thanks eric

Reinstall, cause AFAIK John VV is right, you've broken the system. Even if you did get openSSL_0.9.8 going, the updating system is going to be broken as well.

When you've reinstalled, install a nice open source torrent program from the repos, not utorrent.

At Terminal type --> yum search torrent

When prompted select Y. This should install kTorrent
