I'll keep trying, had the same kind of problems with the other methods I tried, and eventually I managed to compile succesfully.
1GB swap is likely not enough, try moving to 2GB (just add another swap file) . From what I understand the optimize flag -O2 can easily eat up 2GB of free ram by itself. Thanks! I'mma try right away. |

I've gotten that before, I reinstalled ubuntu after panicking lol

Well, it certainly looks like an out of memory issue. Not sure how that's possible with a swap file. And yes, there are still bugs causing random crashes. They were present in Sunny King's original release and I haven't had the time to iron them out.

Having trouble compiling primecoind...I get the following:
make: *** [bitcoinrpc.o] Error 4
It's a vps, 512mb ram, and 1gb swap, fresh boot. Ubuntu 12.10
I could compile it with ecoinomist's guide previously, but this one won't budge.
What's the full error message before that? Can't copy from tightvnc (couldn't manage to use putty with this vps provider) -I did type the commands 100% right though-  In the other server, which is running hp5, compiled using ecoinomist's guide, I get constant crashes. The program either closes itself, and after a few hours I get an error and I have to reboot to be able to mine again. Don't have the error message atm, I'll post it later. |

try this
sudo pkill primecoind
I tried that too.. primecoind stop error: no response from server Then when I go back to launch or watch it... i get this error: no response from server error: no response from server EDIT: now black screen... Using HP5 Sounds like it never compiled properly... |

Yeah it needs to go higher. Well higher difficulty higher chances of my xpm being worth some $$$ I think when GPUminer comes out, total PPS will raise, then diff too. May be we only get 6-7XPM a block Less coin produce, price go up. So what's the reason to afraid of GPUminer? Am I right people? I agree bud, it won't hurt really... |

markm, woke up sarcastic today huh? :p
I agree that it's a gamble atm...hard to compete with the big dogs solo, but well, give it some time folks.
I'm gonna keep cpu mining with my vps till I get my new cpu+mobo combo and my vps credit runs out.

How much did you gain rethaw  18000 with your referal ? oO At 10$ the referal that made your day ! I wish. Trying to resolve some issues regarding this still, but I can tell you the majority of my referrals haven't gone past the $10 promo. I deposited $20 last night so you could get yo' scrilla after reading their referral program page. I don't know what the fuck I will do with it since they aren't raising my limit further, but I just don't want them thinking the whole crypto community is full of douchebags and I have already made a pile of loot, so I'll support them. You guys should do the same. Thanks, but not really necessary. I have suggested they open up a high CPU instance with modest memory for Primecoin miners. If a pooled mining protocol comes along I expect they will get a lot of new customers. That would be perfect...We should all ask the same via support tickets, maybe email/twitter? We can show our support if they do such a thing. |

-hp5 released!This version adds a fast 32-bit routine for inverting numbers. I did some other small performance improvements to the sieve as well. Nothing really big though. Only a 2% improvement in my benchmark. Official backup repository is now on bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/mikaelh/primecoin-hpBut please download the source code from SourceForge if you can. aaaand compiled and running Can anyone make a windows build please? There's one in the first page man. |

Trying to resolve some issues regarding this still, but I can tell you the majority of my referrals haven't gone past the $10 promo. Yeah, the rules of the referral is to pass $10.00 I know i passed $10 for him  can I send you my XPM address to tip me back? Surely, I was worth an easy $10 credit I got $10 in my pp already Got my new vps to work, I'll try the auto restart thing...Thanks for all the help guys, and good luck! |

Re command not found, if you don't put it on the PATH such as by putting it into /usr/local/bin then you need to specify where to find it, like ./primecoind if it is in your current directory and that directory is not on the PATH.
For example if you compile it then try to run it right there where it got built.

Don't get it...tried reinstalling the os, and now getting error 4 and killed stuff again. My head is about to explode. :/ |

has anyone been using 256GB systems successfully? I thought they were using 512 and up...
-MarkM-
I'm gonna have to go with the 512 one...I think you're right with the loop thing. Keep getting error 4 and that kill stuff, even though I know have 2gb swap. EDIT: Tested, could compile succesfully, but when trying to run primecoind I got this: Command not found. O.o wth? I didn't get a single error...I'll go to bed now and reinstall the whole thing tomorrow. Thanks for the help guys. |

Look at /var/log/messages, or maybe it might be in the output of the command "dmesg", to see if there is mention of killing the task.
The make says the thing was killed, using too much memory kills stuff. GeistGeld, that likes to eat itsself out of memory, gets killed for example when it uses too much.
I just don't recall offhand whether it was /var/log/messages or the 'dmesg' command, or maybe even both, where it was recorded that the thing had been killed.
(It was something like hmm gotta kill this or its child tasks, hmm, okay think I'll kill it, type of deal it seemed.)
So yeah throw more RAM and/or swap at it. Not sure if in all cases swap is as good (other than slower) as RAM or not, especially in virtual setups, and of course especially if ratio of swap to RAM gets into swap-thrashing territory where the swapping itself needs more RAM and so on in a loop where no real work ends up getting done. A quarter of a gig of RAM seems really tiny, but hopefully the kernel isn't included in that but is outside in the virtuality engine? Or is it?
-MarkM-
There's a swap partition for the kernel I think...not 100% sure. It was the cheapest option xD I'm trying with 2gb swap, tried the commands above but those don't seem to work on 12.10. It's a pity there's no 13.04 image at the vps' site. |

How much RAM and swap?
-MarkM-
256mb ram, 1gb swap...maybe I need moar? Which distro you using? ubu 12.04? 12.10 Not sure exactly I only used 12.04 and 13.04 but some servers worked with one, and some servers didn't.. I would even try the following. apt-get install libgmp-dev apt-get install git sudo apt-get install build-essential sudo apt-get install libssl-dev sudo apt-get install libdb4.8-dev sudo apt-get install libdb4.8++-dev sudo apt-get install libboost1.37-dev Thanks, I'll give it a shot, and try to increase swap size too. |

Tried it, but I keep getting Error 4 when compiling...I'm using ubuntu 12.10 i386 server. I managed to do it succesfully using Digital Ocean vps but this is another vps provider and I can't make it work no matter what. Tried FuzzyBear's guide over at devtome/ppcointalk, and the other guides...same thing. I must be missing a dependency or something, installed a lot of them already. :/ Screenshot:  |
