Looking for help in installing Tixati torrent client

I’ve tried the Torrent client that comes with Leap but I would prefer to use another torrent client called Tixati. I’ve been using it for quite a while and like it. I have the standard repositories installed along with packman. I tried searching for Tixati in Yast but there were no results. I went to the Tixati site and downloaded the 64bit and 32 bit rpm files. I first tried the 64 bit using the rpm-i method - Yast had a problem with the “packaging”. The 64 bit client failed to install due to a missing dependency:

[rpm -i tixati-2.38-1.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        libdbus-1.so.3(LIBDBUS_1_3)(64bit) is needed by tixati-2.38-1.x86_64
        /CODE]
There is a version of libdbus installed with Leap - I tried finding a more compatible version but it rejected everything I downloaded saying what was already installed was newer.
I then tried the 32 bit file and it also failed due to missing dependencies:

rpm -i tixati-2.38-1.i686.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libcairo.so.2 is needed by tixati-2.38-1.i686
libdbus-1.so.3(LIBDBUS_1_3) is needed by tixati-2.38-1.i686

libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 is needed by tixati-2.38-1.i686


Has anyone installed Tixati and can they tell me what version of libdbus I need to install - and where to find it. I've gone to a couple of site and on one of them there were over 160 versions of libdbus!
Thanks for any suggestions and assistance!

Hi
Grab the manual install download 64Bit, extract and see the readme on where to place the files… just tested here on Leap and it works fine.

Thank you Malcolmlewis for the reply and your assistance. I did as you suggested and was able to install Tixati. I followed the readme instructions but had to make one slight change - the bin file in the archive did not have the execute permission(rw-r–r–) so I had to change it to rwxr-xr-x) before the app would run.
I’m still puzzled by why the nornal software management tools -Yast and rpm-i - would not work but I’m glad to get Tixati running and I thank you again for your help.

Hi
Looking at the rpm it’s a Fedora rpm, so the naming is different hence the error it couldn’t find the lib. You could have told it to ignore the dependency and all should have been good…
