Hey all, after a lot of unsuccessfull googling and asking in freenode chats I come to you guys to hopefully get some help with my issue.

I am rather bad at most things with PC's, but I like trying to learn stuff and get it working. However I've so far been unable to fix this problem. I'm mining with 2*Asus R9 280X, using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. However I've started getting this error message when I try starting up cgminer:

./cgminer: lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1: no version information available (required by ./cgminer)

I've tried apt-get install libudev1, and a bunch of other commands that was suggested, but I honestly have no idea what this even means (am I missing libudev1 or is it just unable to find it?).


A lot of the advice I've gotten has been "install BAMT" or "run windows" but I am so close to getting this to work reliably after 5-6 days of reinstalling/tweaking that I would like to get it done.-

If I'm leaving out any information just say so and I will get it.

Thanks in advanced!

You're trying to run binaries that were not made for your version of ubuntu so you'll have to compile it for yourself. Also there's a good chance you're trying to run a version of cgminer that doesn't even mine on GPUs since cgminer hasn't mined on GPUs for quite a while now. Try different software.

It's cgminer 3.7.2 so the last GPU version I believe, and the weird thing is sometimes (now for example) it DOES work - although I think it might be lowering my expected khash/s by ~100 pr. GPU.

Compiling a version myself sounds like it's over my skill level to dabble in, but installing a newer Ubuntu version like 13.10 should fix this aswell?
