= Installing =

== Building ==

./configure; make; make install


== libtorrent.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ==

Make sure you have ''$prefix/lib in either your /etc/ld.so.conf or LD_LIBRARY_PATH, where ''$prefix'' is where you installed libtorrent. To update the ld cache, run "ldconfig".


== Non-blocking hostname lookup in curl ==

RTorrent will block on hostname lookup during tracker requests and http downloads. You can avoid this by compiling libcurl with 'cares' support, though this will be fixed later by using seperate threads within rTorrent.
