Error building Deluge with Slackbuild
 

Hi,

I am trying to build Deluge on my Slackware64-current system. I installed all the dependencies and tried to run the Slackbuild from SBo. I got this error:

I searched for the error on Google and found no results. I do not know what to do and would appreciate any information or guidance. Thanks.

Edit: I forgot to say, it's a multilib system.

Hi Miranden,

Deluge 1.3.5 has known problems with libtorrent 0.16

I suggest you install libtorrent 0.16.11 and Deluge 1.3.6

libtorrent-rasterbar-0.16.11.tar.gz

deluge-1.3.6.tar.bz2

Release notes for 1.3.6 of Deluge states:
Deluge 1.3.6

February 25, 2013

A major bug-fix release including compatibility for libtorrent 0.16 and WebUI usability fixes.


the slackbuild script is using deluge 1.3.5 and 0.16.4

really dunno about the OP problem, but just FYI deluge from SBo (using those versions, 1.3.5 and r7459) builds and runs fine on my slackware64-current (with multilib).

Thank you, bartgymnast! That did let me build it. Someday I will have to ask you to explain to me how you knew about these "known issues" so that I can figure this stuff out for myself next time. :)

However, now that I have it installed, I am getting an error when I open it that says:

Someday I am going to be able to read this, but right now I am not sure what it is telling me. This doesn't have anything to do with the difference between using libtorrent (as in libtorrent-r7459, which was in the Slackbuild originally) and libtorrent-rasterbar (which I replaced it with), does it?

I am very grateful for the help, guys.

Edit: I am not having any luck using Deluge in thin-client mode, so until I can get this error resolved and make it work in classic mode, I cannot use it.

Miranden,

have you changed the build script ? or installed them from source ?

maybe it is handy to put before the python setup.py --build

the line: python setup.py clean -a


also: change the build script lines below

cd $PRGNAM-$VERSION
tar xvf $CWD/libtorrent-$LIBTVER.tar.?z*

into:

cd $PRGNAM-$VERSION
tar xvf $CWD/libtorrent-$LIBTVER.tar.?z* -C libtorrent

I'm sorry, I wasn't clear. I changed the build script like this:

Original:

Modified:
That's all I did. I will do what you suggest and then post back.

Thanks!

I tried building with both of those changes you gave, and it would not work. Then I tried with each of them separately (to see which change was the culprit), and neither change would allow a successful build. The only way I could make the package was to take both of them out.

So still at the same place it seems. :|

Edit: I will do it again and attach terminal output of the failures.

Here is what the end of what it says when I add the python setup.py clean -a line before python setup.py --build:

And this is with tar xvf $CWD/libtorrent-$LIBTVER.tar.?z* -C libtorrent:

I corrected my mistake in the build script.

please see the attachment for the correct one.
This will work.

Thank you very much for doing that. It did build, and I installed it again. However, I am still getting the same error I pasted in post 4. So I am still not able to use Deluge.

I found some bug reports about that error (post 4) so I think it is a separate issue. I will post another thread, and link it from here when I do. Marking thread as solved. Thanks.
