Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: PS3 miner?

Quote from: PabloW on May 22, 2011, 08:51:16 PM is it really worth to have the PS3 running all day just 20 Mhash? Or are you getting more than that? 22 Mhash/s. It can be profitable if you have cheap or fixed-cost electricity and you don't plan to expand too much. You can get them very cheap and the 130W ones are reasonably silent. Not worth it if you can get highend AMD GPUs on PCs.

But when I try to install gem I get this.

Code:

apt-get install gem
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 gem : Depends: pd
       Depends: libavifile-0.7c2 (>= 1:0.7.48~20090503.ds) but it is not going to be installed
       Depends: libftgl2 (>= 2.1.3~rc5) but it is not going to be installed
       Depends: libglu1-mesa but it is not going to be installed or
                libglu1
       Depends: libmagick++3 (>= 7:6.6.0.4) but it is not going to be installed
       Depends: libmagickcore3 (>= 7:6.6.0.4) but it is not going to be installed
       Depends: libmpeg3-1 (>= 1.5.4) but it is not going to be installed
       Depends: libquicktime1 (>= 2:1.1.1+debian) but it is not going to be installed
       Depends: libv4l-0 (>= 0.5.0) but it is not going to be installed
 libspe2-dev : Depends: libspe2-2 (= 2.2.80-95-1) but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Because I need to this to install net-http-persistent.

Code:

gem install net-http-persistent

Am I doing something wrong here?
I don't know why I'm having so much trouble installing these packages.

Gem is included in the ruby package and you can use it with gem 1.9.1; there's no need to install another package.
Apt is complaining because you haven't installed libspe2-2 which is a dependency of libspe2-dev. You will need both these packages to run cellminer. The reason you're having trouble is that you're probably running either the stable or the testing branches of Debian, whereas these two packages are only available for the oldstable and unstable branches. However, the packages built for the unstable branch work (at least for me) on testing.

Long story short:

Code:

wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libs/libspe2/libspe2-2_2.2.80-95-3.1_powerpc.deb
dpkg -i ./libspe2-2_2.2.80-95-3.1_powerpc.deb
gem1.9.1 install net-http-persistent

And everything should work.

Any ideas?

Have you mounted spufs?

Code:

none /spu spufs defaults 0 0

inside /etc/fstab or manually

Code:

mount -t spufs none /spu
