I  compiled the latest svn trunk. on Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy.

make sure you have libxmlrpc-c3-dev libxmlrpc-c3 installed. (needed for
xmlrpc)

i then used this tutorial to build svn version. although i used

./configure --with-xmlrpc-c

http://www.howtoforge.com/compile_rtorrent_from_svn_ubuntu

also note bug in xmlrpc.cc  http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ticket/1254

once installed copy the rtorrent.rc from rtorrent/trunk/rtorrent/doc/
to ~/.rtorrent.rc and configure it as per requirements and
http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/wiki/RTorrentXMLRPCGuide

this should get you up and running.
