[teros]

Hi,

Performed an IPKG update of transmission to 1.70-2 and now when attempting to start i get /opt/bin/transmission-daemon: can't load library 'libevent-1.4.so.2' anyone getting the same

On a Mybookworld using IPKG.

Try to install libevent,

Code: Select all

ipkg install libevent

and see if transmission runs after that.

Most likely your ipkg package maintainer is doing a cross-compile and didn't see the build changes in 1.70.

Please send a message to your ipkg maintainer, since he/she needs to know about this.

The Transmission development team doesn't make these builds.

This should work:

Code: Select all

# /opt/bin/ipkg update
# /opt/bin/ipkg upgrade
# ldconfig

I ran into the same problem
