Title: I just wanted to setup a Ubuntu box with CPU mining == fail :) Post by: WebMonkey on June 18, 2011, 04:04:11 PM so, i thought if i could whip together a ubuntu 11.04 box and run a cpu miner for a day or two. you know, check out how i like remoting in and what not.
well, that failed. i can get 11.04 up and running. installed from a stick to a hard drive. remote in via vnc viewer or putty. what i can't do is get anything else to "go". i do NOT have any opencl capable video cards to go in it yet. i wasn't going to buy anything untill i decided if i liked it or not. so i'm thinking that's why i can't get opencl to even compile/make/showup? then i tried cpuminer1.02 but even cutting/pasting the directions from the readme fail. gotta have libcurl. download libcurl (or so i think). cut/paste make directions == fail. i'm comfortable on the command line. i've run a linux command line box since redhat 6 but i'm TOO stupid to get this going. yes, i want the ubuntu 11.04 DESKTOP installation. yes, cpu mining is worthless. it's just for proof of concept. yes, i'm way to whiney about the whole thing :) any thoughts on running a non video card dependant setup for a cpu miner? thanks for your time and the bandwidth.
