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 libkadm55 libkrb5-dev libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libncurses5 libncurses5-dev libtool screen
Getting the binaries
Log in to your linkstation and wget the binaries

Easy with .deb's, run the following as root

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
