BenV's notes

This morning I noticed my torrent daemon (aka Deluge) was down.
Checking the logs revealed this:

[ERROR ] 12:22:01 main:216 libboost_filesystem-mt.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/deluge/main.py", line 209, in start_daemon

ImportError: libboost_filesystem-mt.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Interesting. Suddenly I reminded myself of some Slackware updates that probably installed a new version of boost yesterday, replacing my own version.

Oh well, since it seems to be the libtorrent part that’s bugging, I might as well upgrade it:

root@janeman:/usr/src$ wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/libtorrent/libtorrent/libtorrent-0.14.7/libtorrent-rasterbar-0.14.7.tar.gz?use_mirror=freefr
# Leech leech
root@janeman:/usr/src$ tar zxf libtorrent-rasterbar-0.14.7.tar.gz
# Kaboom, in your /usr/src
root@janeman:/usr/src$ cd libtorrent-rasterbar-0.14.7
root@janeman:/usr/src/libtorrent-rasterbar-0.14.7$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-dependency-tracking --enable-shared --enable-static --enable-python-binding --with-boost --with-libgeoip
# lalala, junk
root@janeman:/usr/src/libtorrent-rasterbar-0.14.7$ make
# See you in an hour
root@janeman:/usr/src/libtorrent-rasterbar-0.14.7$ mkdir pkg ; make DESTDIR=`pwd`/pkg install && cd pkg
root@janeman:/usr/src/libtorrent-rasterbar-0.14.7/pkg$ makepkg /usr/src/packages/libtorrent-rasterbar-0.14.7-i386-1.tgz
root@janeman:/usr/src/libtorrent-rasterbar-0.14.7/pkg$ upgradepkg /usr/src/packages/libtorrent-rasterbar-0.14.7-i386-1.tgz

(or you could have used slackbuild.pl, it’s easier ;))

After upgrading the package, deluge starts again. Wheee.
