hi

i tried to install deluge from source, my webinterface is working fine.
but.. the daemon doesnt start with this error(run with deluged -d -L debug)

Code: Select all

[INFO    ] 23:15:41 daemon:124 Deluge daemon 1.3.6

    import libtorrent as lt
ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (initlibtorrent)

i get the same error if i try to get the version of libtorrent:
python -c "from deluge._libtorrent import lt; print lt.version"

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>

    import libtorrent as lt
ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (initlibtorrent)

i tried to install libtorrent-rasterbar6 but that didnt help.

now for my system:
os: debian wheezy
python (python -V): Python 2.7.3

any ideas what i could try?

libtorrent.so should not be in the deluge package and there should be no libtorrent.py file in the package either. Uninstall libtorrent and remove any remaining files then reinstall.

i tried to remove the files as you suggested unfortunately that didnt work.
here is what i did(not for the first time but it seems the order is important):

1. removed/uninstalled deluge completely
2. removed every reference to libtorrent
3. installed python-libtorrent and libtorrent-rasterbar6 via apt-get
4. reinstalled deluge from source

and now its working.

Thanks for your help

you can close this thread.
