Hello,
I have read a lot, but found no solution.
I want to install qbittorrent 3.3 from tar,gz. When I run ./configure, I get this: 'No package 'libtorrent-rasterbar' found'
Thank you!

You need to install the qt4 and/or qt5 libraries plus boost and libtorrent libraries
Boost 1.59:
Download boost
Extract the files,
in a console:
./bootstrap.sh
sudo ./b2 --install
libtorrent:
download libtorrent
extract the files:
in a console:
./configure
make
sudo make install
QT5
download QT5
in a console:
chmod +x ./*run
run the installer with ./*.run (BUT do not run it logged in as root or using sudo)
Addition:
When the QT installer starts make sure you select QT5.5 (it does look selected but is only a partial set). Otherwise it will only install Q5.2.1 wich has a problem resulting in no tray icon.
Now you can compile qbittorrent.

In an addition to the addition.
Forget the very "un-linuxesque online/offline QT5 'installers', which at first looks appear to do a 'bang-up' job, but does require 'super-geek' powers to make it so you
CAN compile QT projects without being forced to use QTCreator for everything (how very Micro$oft of you, QT guys)
Follow the instructions
HERE as it gives better instructions than QT themselves do.
