[revelater]

i got a wierd message while installing bittorent:

bash-3.00# rpm -i BitTorrent-4.0.0-1.noarch.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        /usr/bin/python is needed by BitTorrent-4.0.0-1
bash-3.00#

but i went to that directory and found python there (it was an alies if that matters) two actuall one had a 2.4 after it. anybody know why it isn't working?

Better convert the package to a slackware package or even better, compile it from source.
To convert it to a Slackware package you could use rpm2tgz, but there is no garantuee that the software will work on a Slackware system.

You don't compile Python.
If you want you can just download the source and move it to a directory that is in your $PATH.

there is bittorrent packages at www.slackware.com/pb under extra.

if it complains over missing python you can also find it as a tgz at slackware.com/pb

Or why not compile it from source?
Just make sure you've removed all the "broken" python files if ya have any.
