What's up with the Monero wallet?

[redpepper]

I like some things I seen in Monero, but I can't seem to get past the wallet.  It's command based and has no GUI, why?

I think it's because Peter Todd doesn't like GUI wallets. I could be wrong though.

Does the private login key work on other servers, or even the desktop wallet?

I make PRi Stakers, and I do not compile with GUI... QT is not all that cute and its quite limited.  You can get cartoonish quick, or leave it as base Windows XP.  HTML5 and Java are beautiful.

I found the page you referenced.  I'll try these out.

So does the Monero core have an API for building HTML5 and other wallets and services on top of it?

I think I'm starting to find some of my own answers.  Yes, Monero has an API or Network service.  It looks like this is a feature of the CryptoNote core code, as DigitalNote (XDN) and others also have a network service along with a command line wallet, which looks identical to Monero.  I did just try the Monero full node on linux (Ubuntu) and it failed.  To compare I tested the DigitalNote full node on linux and it started up without any errors. 

Code:

ubuntu:monero$ ./simplewallet 
./simplewallet: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_date_time.so.1.55.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It looks like I'm missing some library.

yes you are missing Libboost library. if you are no troll and need help you can pm me.

Oh wow.. I sound like a troll?  I just installed libboost-all-dev:

Code:

sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev

But I'm still getting the error.  I'm not sure why I should PM you, as others might have the same issue and could learn from your insight.  I'll keep working at it until I figure it out, and then post my solution here.

I solved it by installing this version.

Code:

sudo apt-get install libboost1.55-all-dev

i am sorry, there are many trolls out here right now as you might have noticed 
so i'm trying to not post too much in this new threads..the main ANN thread is always good for help.

happy to hear it worked

Yes the main thread or forum.getmonero.org or IRC #monero are the best places to go for help. Posting new threads means it is less likely your request will actually be seen by people who can help you and more likely it will be mistaken for trolling or lead to more trolling.

Glad it worked out this time though.

Amazingly this worked for me on Ubuntu Trusty:

sudo apt-get install libboost1.55-all-dev libboost1.55-dev libboost1.55-tools-dev libboost-atomic1.55-dev libboost-chrono1.55-dev libboost-context1.55-dev libboost-coroutine1.55-dev libboost-date-time1.55-dev libboost-exception1.55-dev libboost-filesystem1.55-dev libboost-graph1.55-dev libboost-graph-parallel1.55-dev libboost-iostreams1.55-dev libboost-locale1.55-dev libboost-log1.55-dev libboost-math1.55-dev libboost-mpi1.55-dev libboost-mpi-python1.55-dev libboost-program-options1.55-dev libboost-python1.55-dev libboost-random1.55-dev libboost-regex1.55-dev libboost-serialization1.55-dev libboost-signals1.55-dev libboost-system1.55-dev libboost-test1.55-dev libboost-thread1.55-dev libboost-timer1.55-dev libboost-wave1.55-dev libboost-mpi-python1.55.0 -f

Be careful though because it will want to delete any old versions of Boost which is annoying if you need them for other projects.
