Title: Help installing Phoenix miner using natty narwhal 11.04? Complete linux newbie Post by: Focksbot on April 17, 2013, 05:59:15 AM Hey everyone,
A friend and I decided to make a joint venture and set up a mining rig. We set it up running windows 7 off an old hard drive, and have found various clients worked perfectly on it. However, phoenix has the promising allure of a 5-20% performance boost, so I've been trying to mess around with setting that up I've used the following guides: To make a usb version of linux-- http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ To (try and) install phoenix and everything else-- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=50388.0 The USB linux works fine, and installing phoenix goes mostly without error. The following problems come up though, from the second guide I posted: "screen -S update sudo apt-get install fglrx vim openssh-server subversion git-core python-numpy g++ libboost-all-dev" -- liboost-all-dev cannot be found, or does not exist. It won't let me download unless I remove that line. "make -j3 sudo make install" -- both steps give errors, I can retry and get specifics or screenies if needed. Additionally, and finally, whenever I turn off the computer, any changes I've made revert to my stock linux. How do I fix that? I've tried doing some searching on my own, but my lack of familiarity with linux is a real roadblock. If you can help, either post here or message me. I'd be willing to donate some BTC for your troubles. Thanks~ Title: Re: Help installing Phoenix miner using natty narwhal 11.04? Complete linux newbie Post by: Rawted on April 17, 2013, 06:19:40 AM The feature you're speaking of is called BFI_INT patching. It's a core part of cgminer for the last ~5 builds. You're perfectly fine switching back to windows and using the latest version of cgminer to utilize this feature.
If you're wanting to stay with linux, i can help too, let me know. |
