www.cybel.be Many Thanks to Rakshasa for the binaries which make this guide easy. I've spent weeks trying to compile these from source with no luck.

Install Basics
As root, install the following, I'm not 100% sure if you need all of these.
$ aptitude install libsigc++-2.0-dev pkg-config comerr-dev libcurl3-openssl-dev libidn11-dev
$ aptitude install libkadm55 libkrb5-dev libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libncurses5 libncurses5-dev libtool screen
Getting the binaries
Log in to your linkstation and wget the binaries

Modifying .rtorrent.rc
I won't bother repeating the information in the good guide
Set Up rTorrent on LSPro for setting all the usual settings and using screen with rtorrent.
The following needs to be added to .rtorrent.rc to setup XMLRPC-C support
scgi_port = :5000 #scgi_local = /home/torrent/rpc.socket
See the rTorrent user guide to learn how to work with the rTorrent interface.
