I'm compiling by source on CentOS, I've tried many coins and get the same result now:

suncoin/src/
 make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=-
 produces:

 g++ -O2 -pthread -Wall -Wextra -Wformat -Wformat-security -Wno-unused-parameter -g -DUSE_IPV6 -DBOOST_SPIRIT_THREADSAFE -I/suncoin/src -I/suncoin/src/obj -DHAVE_BUILD_INFO -fno-stack-protector -fstack-protector-all -Wstack-protector -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -o suncoind obj/version.o obj/checkpoints.o obj/netbase.o obj/addrman.o obj/crypter.o obj/key.o obj/db.o obj/init.o obj/irc.o obj/keystore.o obj/main.o obj/net.o obj/protocol.o obj/bitcoinrpc.o obj/rpcdump.o obj/rpcnet.o obj/rpcrawtransaction.o obj/script.o obj/scrypt.o obj/sync.o obj/util.o obj/wallet.o obj/walletdb.o obj/noui.o -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now -Wl,-Bdynamic -l boost_system -l boost_filesystem -l boost_program_options -l boost_thread -l db_cxx -l ssl -l crypto -Wl,-Bdynamic -l z -l dl -l pthread
 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_thread
 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
 make: *** [suncoind] Error 1


Using:
make -f makefile.unix BOOST_LIB_SUFFIX=-mt
It compiles, but the program has a * next to it in "ls" and produces:

./suncoind

EXCEPTION: 9key_error
 CKey::CKey() : EC_KEY_new_by_curve_name failed
piggycoin in AppInit()

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'key_error'
  what():  CKey::CKey() : EC_KEY_new_by_curve_name failed

6 XPM bounty if I can get an altcoin properly compiled and working.

Read around 30 threads with no fix.

Do you have libboost_thread installed?

Package boost-thread-1.41.0-18.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
I'm currently using yum on CentOS, I see a lot of boost options, but nothing libbost.

  Name and summary matches only, use "search all" for everything.

Just because the version is the latest in yum doesn't mean it's the latest.  Find the source and compile/install/ldconfig to see if that helps.

You should install libboost1.48-all-dev package

yum install libboost1.48-all-dev
No package libboost1.48-all-dev available.
Error: Nothing to do

I also tried boost all dev, which installed, but doesn't help with compiling.



What version do you recommend?
I tried their latest one, and had the same error/issue.
I did have to uninstall the yum version first.

Whichever one the wallet developer used.

Try "sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev". I'm used to seeing apt on Debian-based installs and yum on RedHat-based ones, so that may be part of your issue. You may need to remove the yum version first for it to work though.
