rtorrent 0.8.2 fails to startup, and yields: "rtorrent: PollKQueue::perform() error: Operation not supported"

[bogthree41@…]

I just upgraded to rtorrent 0.8.2 and libtorrent 0.12.2. When I start rtorrent by entering "rtorrent" into the terminal, it fails to startup and gives the error message:

"rtorrent: PollKQueue::perform() error: Operation not supported"

I'm using Mac OS 10.4.

After uninstalling rtorrent and libtorrent, and installing rtorrent-devel and libtorrent-devel (rtorrent 0.8.4 and libtorrent 0.12.4), rtorrent works.

In the 0.12.2 upgrade of the port the kqueue argument was included, probably taken from the 0.12.3 libtorrent-devel portfile (the current at that time). But including kqueue for OS X makes only sense from libtorrent version 0.12.3 or higher on, because that version has the necessary kqueue-adjustments for OS X. See
​http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16555
As long as the libtorrent port stays on 0.12.2 it should be without kqueue, libtorrent-devel (currently 0.12.4) can of course keep it. Maybe as a variant, to be always on the safe side. But i work with kqueue without any problems (and some nice improvements) on OS X 10.4.11 since version 0.12.3 up to current svn (disabled ipv6).

Just my personal view.

Yeah, I accidentally brought over the with-kqueue argument from the libtorrent-devel port. Sorry about that; I've uploaded a fixed portfile for libtorrent.
