Title: HOWTO: Compiling Bitcoin on Ubuntu 10.04 (Karmic)
Post by: aceat64 on August 19, 2010, 07:44:37 AM
I wrote up a basic guide on how to compile Bitcoin on Ubuntu. I hope it proves useful to anyone still having issues compiling the graphical client.

That's a really well written walkthough.  Someone should confirm if they followed it and didn't run into any snags.

Working from a clean install of Ubuntu 10.04 64:

Testing your guide :)

The line:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libgtk2.0-dev libssl-dev libdb4.7-dev libdb4.7++-dev libboost-all-dev checkinstall svn git
Returns the error:
E: Couldn't find package svn

Oops, I forgot that the package is actually named subversion. I'll update the post now.
