BitTorrent from the package rarely (if ever) works. Its structured in 
such a way that it needs its libraries to be right where they are in 
the Bram Cohen tarball. Just download the tarball of the latest version 
from http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/ and untar it in your ~ 
somewhere and use that. That's about all you're going to be able to do. 
I've tried to install the package on RH, Gentoo and Debian and they all 
failed. I'm beginning to think that there is no testing of that package 
ever.
