Hey Zubov, I’m getting the same errors you were. What did you do to fix libevent? When I use yum to install it, it says the latest version is already installed. The same errors persist…. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there, first of all great tutorial you got here.

now, im having problems setting up the auto-extract.py scrip with crond/crontab. my crontab job looks like this:

0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * python auto-extract.py /mnt/HD/HD_b2/Movies/

(I know every 10 min is quite often but this was just for troubleshooting purposes)

if i just paste in and execute the “python auto-extract.py /mnt/HD/HD_b2/Movies/” cmd it runs great, finds the auto-extract.py file and extracts everything in the “movies” with no hustle. but then when i add it to a crontab schedule i get this error msg:

“: USER root pid 31486 cmd python /mnt/HD/HD_a2/auto-extract.py /mnt/HD/HD_b2/P2P/complete/^M
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/mnt/HD/HD_a2/auto-extract.py”, line 177, in
obj = Unrar()
File “/mnt/HD/HD_a2/auto-extract.py”, line 58, in __init__
self.traverse_directories()
File “/mnt/HD/HD_a2/auto-extract.py”, line 126, in traverse_directories
for dirname, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(self.download_dir):
AttributeError: ‘Unrar’ object has no attribute ‘download_dir’”

now im quite new to UNIX/Linux systems so i have no clue where the problem is.

I cannot seem to make this work with the current Transmission version 2.12.

During make I get several errors in file announcer.o

Any help would be awesome. Thanks.

OK, nevermind about all those posts,
All my problems were caused by libevent.

Got it solved by digging around anon’s Solution

Sorry for wasting post space !

So for the error : “configure: error: libevent 1.4.9 or higher not found!”
I did this :
apt-get install libevent-dev
And located where were my libevent, and re-run the ./configure with extra arg :

./configure -enable-daemon LIBEVENT_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LIBEVENT_LIBS=”-L/usr/lib -levent”

Then i had another Error :
configure: error: Your intltool is too old. You need intltool 0.35.0 or later.
Solved With:
apt-get install intltool
I ReRun ./configure -enable-daemon LIBEVENT_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LIBEVENT_LIBS=”-L/usr/lib -levent”

and it worked

Error solved by doing this :
apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
apt-get install doc-base
apt-get install libcurl3-dbg
apt-get install krb5-doc

Then i had another error : “configure: error: libevent 1.4.9 or higher not found!”

I am having an Error when running the command : “./configure –enable-daemon ”
Errorr Message = “checking for OPENSSL… checking for OpenSSL… configure: error: Cannot locate ssl”

I saw some posts about it, but nothing helpful ….
any ideas ?

I have done all previous steps, installing Debian, updating to Lenny, installed all requied packages….
I tried to instal OpenSSL, but i already have it
it is here : /usr/lib
I have tried to run “PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib”
but problem persist
any ideas ?

I worked around the libevent by:
wget http://backports.mithril-linux.org/pool/main/libe/libevent/libevent-1.4-2_1.4.13-stable-1~bpo50+1_arm.deb
dpkg -i libevent-1.4-2_1.4.13-stable-1~bpo50+1_arm.deb

Hi there !
Thank you so much for this post, so helpful ! But I don’t see how did you install the transmission v 2.04 because we need libevent 1.4.9 or higher and I can’t install it on my dns 323… I tried to compile it but it didn’t work.

Hi Jeffrey: I remember having some issue with this too. Not sure if it was fixed in a newer version of Transmission or what but these are the last two lines in my settings.json file: “watch-dir”: “/mnt/HD_b2/TorrentWatch”, “watch-dir-enabled”: true

As for permissions, I think Transmission just has to be able to read from your watch directory.

I cannot get the watch directory to work — did you install a separate program? Or does the directory require certain permissions? Mine is set as nobody:501 for permissions

Hi aslam (sorry just noticed the comment now). The guide was written for people that have debian installed on their dns323 instead of fonz's funplug system.
