Installing (compiling) Deluge for Fedora Core 5

[azekeil]

Hi,

I'm using Fedora Core 5, and the current version of Deluge available for it is 0.4.1, but I wanted the most recent version. Turns out the packages I needed to install to solve the build requirements were openssl-devel python-devel boost-devel (and their related dependencies which should install automatically if you use yum).

I downloaded 0.5.6.2 tarball and tried to compile that, but setup.py was looking for the -mt versions of the boost libraries. Unable to find a package with the multithreaded versions for FC5, I tried assuming that they were one and the same, and edited setup.py to remove the -mt's. Deluge compiled fine, and I installed it to /usr/local with PREFIX=/usr/local make install.

Now, when I run deluge I get:

Code: Select all

$ deluge
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/deluge", line 42, in ?
    import deluge
ImportError: No module named deluge
$

Looking elsewhere on the forum, it suggests deleting ~/.config/deluge, but there is no such directory as it has never run successfully for me. I also recall seeing using dbus-launch to run it but that gives the same error message.

I tried the svn version as well, but it does exactly the same.

What now?

i was using fc6 before migrating to xubuntu 7.10. I did had trouble finding the right packages to be installed but I did manage to get them installed and deluge running stably (sort of).

I don't remember how I manage to get it right but I have faintest memory on this -mt you are talking about. Perhaps you should compile this -mt into your fc5? If it's in the boost package, maybe you can download the same version source you had installed and compile it with -mt option?
