No, it's not. Make sure your entire system is up to date (partial updates are not supported), make sure you're running the executable you think you're running (which rtorrent), and makes sure you've rebuilt any locally built or AUR packages. You can set LD_DEBUG=files or use lddtree from pax-utils in Community to help figure out where the problem lies.
