can't get qtorrent to run

Seiken · 02-25-2005, 10:07 PM

hello there, yes it's me again... I have yet another problem. I promise I'll pay you all back by helping out in the future as much as you all do now

hey, at least I'm learning stuff, right?

I downloaded qtorrent and installed it, but when I run the binary, I get the following:

Code:

bash-2.05b$ pwd
/usr/local/bin/qtorrent-0.9.5
bash-2.05b$ ls
LICENSE.txt  MANIFEST  PKG-INFO  pyqtorrent  qtorrent  setup.py
bash-2.05b$ ./qtorrent
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./qtorrent", line 10, in ?
    from qt import QApplication
ImportError: No module named qt
bash-2.05b$

I emailed the developers, and they said I needed to install the PyQt package... so I did... then I tried again and got the same error.

This is the first link I found when I googled to find some answers. Hope this helps

And surely there are many more.

Where would sys.path and PYTHON_PATH be located? I ran searches on my machine, but they turned up 0 results.

i think you have to set them like :

export PYTHON_PATH=$"<path-to-python>"

I exported the PYTHON_PATH, and still got the same error. Did some searching around on Google, and many results said I needed to install PyQt. Downloaded PyQt, and can't install it unless SIP is installed first... so I downloaded SIP. "python configure.py" runs fine, but then as soon as I run "make", I get the following:

Code:

So far, between qtorrent, nvidia drivers, and mplayer, errors/suggestions have gotten me to reinstall kernel-source, kernel-modules, glibc, python, and qt. Now I need to install SIP, so I can install PyQt, but SIP won't install! hehe. I'd love to just burn Slackware 10.1 (running 10.0) and reinstall the whole bit, but A) I'm learning a lot this way that I wouldn't have learned if I just reinstalled, and B) the wife would kill me (all she remembers is the full week of me trying out different distros to see which one I wanted to go with, plus the hassle of setting up her bookmarks, address list, etc.)

decided to try ctorrent instead, and get this during "make":

Try Azureus. Its Java based Bit-Torrent Application. It also has a version which works with GTK widgets. No compiling. Just make sure java is running on ur system. If you put the java path right, it'll work just fine.

Thinking again.. you must be tired of "paths" by now.

haha, yeah... I did end up trying azureus and it works. I was just hoping to try one of the apps that use less resources.

You need QT... Do you run KDE? Bindings are worth nothing if you haven't got the two base packages... Python & QT.

gbonvehi · 12-06-2005, 11:52 PM

You could try the official bittorrent client or bittornado that are on extra/
