Cant find ktorrent after install

J

JohnLWebb

I finished installing ktorrent but I can't find it.

doing a "which ktorrent" yields nothing...

Code: 
$ portinstall -P net-p2p/ktorrent
** Found already installed package(s) of 'net-p2p/ktorrent': ktorrent-3.2.2_1

I'm using FreeBSD 7.2 and KDE 3.5. Does ktorrent work with kde 3.5?

Should I deinstall it and try again?
 
Are you trying to start it from the same shell from which you installed it?
If so try rehash. Anyway running it as root is a bad idea.
 
Is it possible that ktorrent-3.2.2_1 doesn't run on kde 3.5.10? I noticed it installed a bunch of kde4 libraries when I installed it.

I just installed ktorrent 2.2.8 and its is found no problem...
 
Looks like it ;)

Code: 
[/usr/ports/net-p2p/ktorrent]$ make missing | grep kde

Thanks.

From the KTorrent FAQ;

How can I get the KDE3 version ?

The KDE3 version is no longer being actively developed, it is recommended that you upgrade to the KDE4 version.
 
Read /usr/ports/UPDATING, there's an entry in there with the notice that ktorrent has been upgraded to the KDE4 version. There's a date listed there.

You need to use cvsup with a custom date tag instead of tag=. and use a date before the one listed in /usr/ports/UPDATING. That will get you the ports tree from before the ktorrent update. And then you can install the KDE3 version of ktorrent.
