after installation as of instruction (ubuntu) rtorrent doesn't load

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Follow install instruction for ubuntu
2. Use the file given as an example
3. Run rtorrent

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect rtorrent to run, but it dies
rtorrent: Error in option file: ~/.rtorrent.rc:16: Invalid start of name.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
rtgui-0.2.3
rtorrent 0.8.0-0ubuntu1

Ubuntu 8.04 _Hardy Heron_
Linux lnahum-desktop 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Jun 4 15:10:52 UTC 2008
x86_64 GNU/Linux

Please provide any additional information below.

I know the problem is not in rtgui but in rtorrent probably updated config,
but would you be able to help ?

I guess the problem is in your .rtorrent.rc - probably around line 16.

Sorry, but this isn't an rtGui problem...

While I must agree with you, the example provided on the web site is probably 
wrong.
So is not an rtGui problem, true, but a , little error, in the documentation 
example.
Well, I guess with the new version that might not even be relevant anyways.

Hope I didn't disturb.

Your web browser might have saved .rtorrent.rc as a dos format file - convert 
it 
with:
dos2unix .rtorrent.rc

you might need to:
sudo apt-get install tofrodos
..to install the dos2unix prog.

Well done. Works now, so it wasn't an error on the config file but my own.
I used wget, cause I wasn't at home when I wanted to have an easier interface to
rtorrent.

Cheers!
