In libtorrent-0.15.5+svn, the libtorrent author changed the API (probably not on purpose). Until libtorrent v0.15.5 (latest stable release), everything is OK. I have notified the author.

Also, if you got this error, this means that you compiled against an older version libtorrent, and then installed a more recent version without recompiling qBittorrent: this is bad. In this particular case, you would have noticed that qBittorrent does not even compile against libtorrent RC_0_15 trunk.

Here is the patch I used on my Ubuntu PPA. However, it is likely that the issue gets resolved in libtorrent SVN in the next few days.

The libtorrent author says that load_file() is not part of the API. As a consequence, qBittorrent should not use it. Please find attached a better patch which removes any load_file() call.
