Can not configure rTorrent

[pyflo@pyflo.com]

When trying to configure rTorrent it fails with XMLRPC-C error: configure: error: Could not compile XMLRPC-C test.

I have complied: curl-7.19.7 + cares

XMLRPC-C is latest from SVN trunk Funny how this has occured when upgrading to the latest version 0.8.6 after whole day of trying to make rTorrent work.

Just a check, did you compile with 'configure --with-xmlrpc-c' ?

[anonymous]

The test in configure tries to run xmlrpc-c-config in the defaultpath. If you have it installed somewhere non default you need to specify a path for xmlrpc, like 'configure --with-xmlrpc-c=PATH' you can specify a location.

Check config.log for further details and specify them so someone can figure out what the cause of not being able to compile the small xmlrpc source is. This entry is a little low on information.

[root@atom rtorrent]# ./configure --with-xmlrpc-c=/usr/local/bin/xmlrpc-c-config .... checking for XMLRPC-C... failed configure: error: Could not compile XMLRPC-C test.

Can't see anything wrong here.

Unfortunate.

I am not an expert in this, but the error seems to indicate that you have a libcurl problem :

#/usr/local/lib/libcurl.so: undefined reference to `ares_library_init' #/usr/local/lib/libcurl.so: undefined reference to `ares_library_cleanup'

Probably referenced in the xmlrpc libraries.

Yes, it looks like libcurl needs to be linked against libcares, but "pkg-config --libs libcurl" does not indicate this.

That can mean that you have multiple libcurl.pc versions, or that it's simply not installed correctly. Fix your libcurl installation, then try again.
