Bitcoin Forum

Hi,

Iam trying to compile bitcoind (also tried litecoind) on my Ubuntu vps (Description:Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS      Release:12.04) but getting error every time i do: make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=-


Error :

leveldb/libleveldb.a: could not read symbols: Archive has no index; run ranlib to add one
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status




Thanks in advance.

You'll probably find an awnser here:

edit: oh, linux...

Maybe this one is better:

Or this one:

compiling bitcoind on ubuntu-server 12.04 (https://gist.github.com/WyseNynja/2503687)

Thanks but iam still looking for a solution.... :( Sadly i still can't get rid of that error !!

aren't you supposed to do
rather than using the makefile directly?

what version of bitcoin are u trying to compile. newer versions are compiled with
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
make install # optional

Thanks a lot i was just missing that  :) Now i have successfully compiled bitcoind and litecoind both.

Here is one issue if anyone can help with iam tiered of pulling searches for it:
I did an altcoin ( a litecoin clone) just for my learning as i won't release it, for that coin iam still having the same error though i can compile it easily on my windows32 bit...... I guess a problem with my libleveldb.a libmemenv.a ??? any idea how to fix it ?

u should post the error msg.
some altcoins need to set permission to libleveldb;
cd litecoin
chmod 755 src/leveldb/build_detect_platform
to compile them.

.on windows u might need to build libleveldb.a libmenenv.a before compile.

Hi this is the error iam getting:

leveldb/libleveldb.a: could not read symbols: Archive has no index; run ranlib to add one
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status



on windows i can compile the qt easily for my altcoin using the source but on linux only iam having this error.

Edit this is my os info:
Debian:
Release Kali Linux 1.0.6 32-bit
Kernel Linux 3.12-kali1-486
GNOME 3.4.2

Its finally working the wallet is in sync with others and giving outputs as well


What i did was :

just copy the liblevel.db.a   and   libmemenv.a from the litecoin source i compiled on the same linux to my testcoin and then compiled my testcoind and it worked :)
