Another issue... - marcozd - 2010-10-11 18:14

Hi Dave,

thanks for your reply - showrss is working now for me - maybe just a glitvh or something.

I am trying to compile transmission as per your blog but I get the following:

checking for LIBCURL... configure: error: The pkg-config script could not be found or is too old. Make sure it
is in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full
path to pkg-config.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBCURL_CFLAGS
and LIBCURL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Did this happen to you? Just wondering if you know how to fix this.

thanks,
Marco

Hey man, it sounds like some of the libraries required didn't get installed correctly. Did you install the libcurl package before running the install? You might want to Google that specific package to make sure the right one gets installed. Honestly, I had a few similar issues pop up but thought I had listed out all the packages I had to install before installing Torrentflux in the guide, so that's odd that it still had errors. That was by far the trickiest piece of the whole setup though so don't get discouraged!

It sounds like there are some new developers picking this program back up to try to fix this stuff so hopefully one day it will be a lot more straight forward!

Sorry for the delayed response BTW. Smile
