Actually ubuntu went through a system update and now the bitzuma guide works just fine

i actually want to see the .dat file. i went to the ling you sent and it told me to use this command
find / -name wallet.dat -print 2>/dev/null
i got the response
bash: /dev/nul: Permission denied
.....?........any ideas

I just compiled bitcoin core on ubuntu, where exactly is my wallet.dat file that i would like to back up....i cant find it

I actually successfully compiled after ubuntu did a large system update. now the walk through on bitzuma works just fine thanks for the help though.

I am following your instructions and it seems to be ok until i get to the command
sudo ./configure --with-incompatible-bdb --with-boost-libdir=/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf
it returns
configure: error: --with-boost-libdir expected directory name
 Any Ideas?

 I followed the old walkthrough on this forum and got an error on the third command. I also tried to follow the more recent guide here http://bitzuma.com/posts/compile-bitcoin-core-from-source-on-ubuntu/ and ran into problems as well. I usually have a problem when I enter the command ./autogen.sh. If anyone can tell me what I'm missing I'd appreciate it. I'm pretty sure I have all the dev tools necessary and had no problem unpacking the Berkeley database. Thanks
