Description Jouni Rinne 2006-12-29 11:46:30 UTC 
When trying to run net-p2p/bittorrent-5.0.3, I get the following error:

madmax@bluelight ~ $ bittorrent

The GUI starts, and there's an error popup which says: 'BitTorrent core initialization failed!'. When I click 'ok', the program crashes. Previous version (4.4.0) worked fine.

Comment 1 Raúl Porcel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-01-16 15:54:46 UTC 
Please try with 5.0.4, and be sure to have wxGTK-2.6.3.3 and wxpython-2.6.3.3.
Comment 2 Jouni Rinne 2007-01-16 19:43:51 UTC 
No luck with 5.0.4 :(, I get almost exactly the same error as with 5.0.3, just some line numbers changed... wxpython-2.6.3.3 and wxGTK-2.6.3.3 are installed.

Have you tried removing ~/.bittorrent ?
Comment 4 Jouni Rinne 2007-01-18 19:53:30 UTC 
Ouch... *now* I did remove it: at least it doesn't crash any more. However, there are still some minor glitches: bittorrent takes a VERY, VERY long time to start up, and the Help>About window complains that it doesn't find /usr/share/doc/bittorrent-5.0.4/credits.txt, well it *is* there, but zipped (I have never understood why Gentoo insists on zipping all documentation...). Also, there are duplicate entries of README.txt and redirdonate.html (the other in html/) in the mentioned doc directory.

Fixed the html and the help -> about thing. Added info about upgrading. About the slowness of starting up...it takes here about 10 seconds to start...

Bug fixed.
