Unsupported XMLRPC dialect selected

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello,
When I try to connect to my rtorrent via ssh I get following error:
Unsupported XMLRPC dialect selected.
rtorrent/libtorrent: 0.7.9/0.11.9
xmlrpc-c: 1.11.00

Regards

I forgot: I use nTorrent-bin-20071220
XMLRPC works fine (I've tested it with another GUI).

are you sure that rtorrent is compiled with xmlrpc-c 1.11? and can anyone else
confirm this problem? this error message usually only appears on xmlrpc-c 
versions
that doesn't support i8.

the problem lies in theese two lines 

       //makes sure that server and client speak the same dialect.
       Object[] params = {"apache"};
       client.execute("xmlrpc_dialect", params);

at 

http://ntorrent.googlecode.com/svn/tags/20071220-nTorrent-alpha.0.4-build.40/src
/org/heldig/ntorrent/io/xmlrpc/
in the folder http,local and ssh.

those lines are implemented to make sure that rtorrent and ntorrent both use 
i8. but
i believe they are deprecated as of now and can be removed. so you can try it 
out by
removing those lines and rebuilding from source. "ant run" in the source 
package will
compile and run ntorrent. do this after you have removed the lines. and give 
feedback
of your findings here.

Hello again,
I've compiled the modified source with "ant jar". I don't get any errors but the
application window is empty. I have no idea if I made a successful connection.

Regards

does java -jar jarfile print out any errors? and are you sure rtorrent is 
compiled 
with xmlrpc-c 11 headers and not old headers lying around in your system?

Hmm, this is a good question. Let me check this...

I've purged all old libraries and recompiled rtorrent with latest xmlrpc-c 
libraries.
Still not working.

when making the pre-alpha version of ntorrent i had many issues when trying 
different
xmlrpc-c versions. /usr/local/lib (think thats correct.) always had old xmlrpc-c
headers from earlier compiled and installed versions. had i had to manually 
remove
them. if you have done this, then try to run both the official ntorrent jar and 
your
own compiled jar. and post your error messages here.

The original ntorrent seems to work now! Probalby I had rtorrent compiled with 
wrong
xmlrpc-c headers. Thanks for support. Problem solved.
