Title: Need help installing mining software on linux
Post by: Oryon on April 29, 2013, 09:02:05 AM
Hello, i am new to the mining, and i would like to install a mining software on the computer of my office.

I am using a Debian Squeeze x64
uname -r: 2.6.32-5-amd64
lspci | grep VGA: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210] (rev a2)
I know that i wont get good results with this card, but this computer is 24/7 online, and i dont have to pay for the electricity :)

So i try to install cgminer-3.0.1, and as i follow the instructions, after ./configure i get the following error.

Configuration Options Summary:

  curses.TUI...........: FOUND: -lncurses
  OpenCL...............: NOT FOUND. GPU mining support DISABLED
configure: error: No mining configured in

I know i have to install NVidia openCL, but i simply cant. Can anyone help me with a step by stem guide wheat should i do? I have ia32 libs installed, and i can install nvidia-libopencl1-ia32 and nvidia-opencl-icd-ia32, but if i do the error stays the same.

When i want to install the x64 version (nvidia-opencl-icd, nvidia-libopencl1) i get the follwoing error:

uanem@host:~/src/cgminer-3.0.1$ sudo aptitude install nvidia-libopencl1 nvidia-opencl-icd
[sudo] password for uname:
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libnvidia-compiler{ab} nvidia-libopencl1{b} nvidia-opencl-icd{b}
0 packages upgraded, 3 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 9,987 kB of archives. After unpacking 36.7 MB will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  nvidia-libopencl1: PreDepends: multiarch-support which is a virtual package.
  nvidia-opencl-icd: PreDepends: multiarch-support which is a virtual package.
  libnvidia-compiler: PreDepends: multiarch-support which is a virtual package.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

     Keep the following packages at their current version:
1)     libnvidia-compiler [Not Installed]                 
2)     nvidia-libopencl1 [Not Installed]                 
3)     nvidia-opencl-icd [Not Installed]                 



Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]

I dont really know much about multi-arch support, i have heared it ll be some stuff implemented in Wheezy and it ll support some cross platform stuff between x32 and x64.

Thanks for the help.

You should use cudaminer it is better for nvidia cards (and easier to install) :
