[solved] qbittorrent fails to load

Question

Hi,
I installed qbittorrent (and rb_libtorrent) from community repo about one month ago (since then I'm using Arch, so I'm pretty new to it, before I was using Ubuntu64). Everything works fine till 13/14. July. On that day there was a qt update and starting qbittorrent leads to an segmentation fault, reinstallation changed nothing. Next day an rb_libtorrent update: no segmentation fault any more, but:
qbittorrent: error while loading shared libraries: libtorrent-0.13.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I tried to reinstall, but nothing changed.
Because there is no update of qbittorrent in community repo yet (for x86_64), I tried to make my own pkgbuild (found some old ones here and modified them). Building and installation worked fine, but qbittorrent don't start either (segmentation fault again).
What am I doing wrong?
Hier my pkgbuilds:
rb_libtorrent
pkgname=rb_libtorrent
pkgver=0.13
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A C++ library that aims to be a good alternative to all the other bittorrent implementations around"
arch=(i686 x86_64)
url="http://www.rasterbar.com/products/libtorrent/"
license=('GPL')
makedepends=('boost')
conflicts=('libtorrent')
source=(http://garr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/libtorrent/libtorrent-$pkgver.tar.gz)
build() {
cd $startdir/src/libtorrent-$pkgver
./configure --prefix=/usr
--disable-debug
--with-boost-date-time=mt
--with-boost-filesystem=mt
--with-boost-thread=mt
--with-boost-regex=mt
--with-boost-program_options=mt
make || return 1
make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
qbittorrent
pkgname=qbittorrent
pkgver=1.0.0
pkgrel=3
pkgdesc="A bittorrent client written in C++ / Qt4 using the good libtorrent library"
arch=(i686 x86_64)
url="http://www.qbittorrent.org/"
license=('GPL')
depends=('qt' 'rb_libtorrent' 'curl' 'python' 'boost')
source=(http://osdn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/qbittorrent/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
build() {
cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
./configure --prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr --qtdir=/opt/qt4
make || return 1
make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
I tried to install qbittorrent in Arch32 (Virtalbox) too (there was an qbittorrent update), but it didn't start either (segmentation fault).
Qbittorrent is my favorite torrent client, please help me that I could use it again.
(and sorry for my english ^^)
Problem solved:
creating a sym link in /usr/lib/ was the solution:
ln -sf /usr/lib/libtorrent-rasterbar.so /usr/lib/libtorrent-0.13.so
Everything is fine again

Answer 1

Right now, I am having trouble compiling qbittorrent from the aur. For some reason, it keeps spitting that I need a version of libtorrent, which for one thing is wrong because qbittorrent uses rb_libtorrent, and my version of rb_libtorrent is up to date.
Update: I had to manually get the source from the qbittorrent site and compile it rather than using the version I already had up to make the latest package. I will give this a shot and let you know how it turns out.
FINAL SOLUTION!
I just had to rebuild the package, I will upload it to my repository right now.
pacman -Sy qbittorrent should yield a working product now. Sorry for having it broken, and thank you for bringing this problem to my attention.
