Has anyone had any luck getting the Bitcoin daemon running on a WebFaction server? I'm developing a bitcoin service and need some way of getting the daemon running. Right now the binary won't run because of missing libraries. Namely I get this error:

./bin/32/bitcoind: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by ./bin/32/bitcoind)
./bin/32/bitcoind: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by ./bin/32/bitcoind)

Any insights?

Do you have access to developer tools (i.e., a compiler) on the server?  If so, you might have more luck if you compile the program yourself (except it has quite a few dependencies).

Cheers,

Yeah, the dependencies aren't there. :-/

I'm going to try getting glibc installed in my home directory, see if that works.

Edit:
Doing this with shared hosting on WebFaction is turning out to be a huge P.I.T.A. Moving to a VPS on Host Nexus.

The dependencies for bitcoind are themselves pretty easy to compile.

Depends on the environment. I was getting a bunch of weird errors. After fighting through the first few waves I decided I'd had enough.

Of course, the HostNexus VPS I got yesterday went down before I could SSH in and start poking around, so now I have to wait for that to come back up before I can start getting things set up over there. :-p

Frustrated ryepdx is frustrated.

Has anyone tried installing bitcoind on webfaction in 2012? I'm curious if it's possible.
